Pigeon Forge Shopping

Outlet centers and Parkway shops · Plus the independents worth the stop

Shopping in Pigeon Forge splits three ways: the outlet centers strung along the Parkway, the walkable clusters at The Island and The Old Mill, and the long-standing one-offs — a five-and-dime, a working pottery, a western outfitter — that have outlasted most of what grew up around them. The clusters are the efficient play: at The Island or The Old Mill you can work through half a dozen shops without moving the car.
