Grocery Shopping in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee

Stocking a Pigeon Forge cabin with groceries is one of the first things most visitors sort out after check-in. Three major grocery chains operate directly in Pigeon Forge, and a fourth large option is a short drive into Sevierville. Here's what each offers and where to find them.

Food City — Pigeon Forge

Food City is a regional grocery chain headquartered in Abingdon, Virginia, with strong Tennessee roots — it's the most locally familiar supermarket in the area. The Pigeon Forge location on Teaster Lane off the Parkway is a full-service store with fresh produce, a deli with prepared foods, a bakery, pharmacy, and a fuel center. Food City also has a smaller Express format at 3625 Parkway that's convenient for quick stops. Both locations carry Tennessee-sourced items, local honey, and regional specialty products you won't find at national chains. The Teaster Lane location is the better choice for a full grocery run before or after settling into a cabin.

Kroger — Pigeon Forge

The Kroger at 220 Wears Valley Road is the most convenient full-service grocery store for visitors staying in cabins on the western side of Pigeon Forge or in the Wears Valley corridor. The store carries a full grocery selection — produce, meat, seafood, deli, bakery, and a pharmacy — with Kroger's standard online ordering and curbside pickup available for those who want to pre-order before arrival. The Kroger fuel center rewards program works with the grocery loyalty card. Hours run daily from 7 AM to 11 PM, making it accessible for both early-morning stock-ups and late-night arrivals.

Publix — Pigeon Forge

Publix at 2656 Parkway in the Valley Forge Shopping Center is the upscale grocery option in Pigeon Forge — a Florida-based chain known for its deli, bakery, and prepared foods quality. The Publix deli produces fresh-made subs, fried chicken, and prepared hot foods daily, which makes it useful for grab-and-go meals as well as full grocery shopping. The bakery offers custom cakes, fresh-baked breads, and pastries. Publix also provides online ordering with curbside pickup and delivery options. For visitors who want a higher-end grocery experience — specialty cheeses, imported items, premium wine and beer selections — Publix is the right stop. Open daily 7 AM to 10 PM.

Walmart Supercenter — Sevierville

The nearest Walmart Supercenter to Pigeon Forge is in Sevierville — approximately 10 to 15 minutes north on the Parkway — and is the best option for visitors who need to combine grocery shopping with household supplies, pharmacy items, camping gear, or electronics in a single stop. Walmart's pricing is typically lower than the specialty grocery chains, and the Supercenter format covers everything a cabin stay might require: groceries, toiletries, charcoal, outdoor supplies, and more. The Sevierville location is also adjacent to Tanger Outlets and the Governor's Crossing retail area, making it a natural stop if you're coming in from the Knoxville direction on your arrival day. Open 24 hours.

Frequently asked questions

Can I order groceries for delivery to my cabin in Pigeon Forge?

Yes — both Kroger and Publix offer online ordering with delivery to your address, and Instacart covers the Pigeon Forge area with same-day delivery from multiple stores. Ordering groceries for delivery to arrive shortly after your check-in is a popular option for cabin guests who don't want their first afternoon eaten up by a grocery run. Confirm delivery availability and timing at your preferred store's website before your trip.

Which grocery store is closest to the Dollywood area?

Publix at 2656 Parkway is the closest major grocery store to the Dollywood corridor — it's on the Parkway within the Pigeon Forge entertainment district.
