If you love a deal-and we're talking department store merchandise at bargain prices-then the outlet malls in Pigeon Forge and Sevierville, TN will have you in marathon-shopping mode all year long. Clothes, furniture, spices, appliances, jewelry, CD's, tools, coats, china, and just about everything else you could need (or imagine wanting!) is available at the factory outlets, speciality and gift stores in the Smokies.

Belz Factory Outlet World in Pigeon Forge offers 85 specialty shops, jewelry, and accessories, as well as men's, women's and children's wear for the whole family. Famous name brands such as Naturalizer, Carter's, Geoffrey Beene, and Nike are all available at up to 75% savings every day. With restaurants like Subway, Chick'n Lick'n Broasted Chicken, New Deli, and Geno's Italian Eatery, you won't even have to leave the mall for a satisfying meal "on-the-go"! The VF Factory Outlet Store at Governor's Crossing boasts big names such as Lee, Wrangler, Vanity Fair and Jansport, and the Pigeon Forge Factory Outlet Mall features well-known brands such as Pfaltzgraff, Oneida, Mikasa, Samsonite, and Bass Footwear. Looking for something extra-special for the man or woman in your life? Look no further! The Tanger Outlet Center gives bargain hunting a facelift with high-end brands like Zales, Brooks Brothers, Polo, Timberland, Nine West, Coach, Tommy Hilfiger, Nautica, Harry and David, Cole Haan, and Bose. With two locations, one in Sevierville and the other in Pigeon Forge, you won't have to look far to find gifts for the whole family. You may even find a gift for yourself!

Although outlet shopping attracts most visitors, don't forget to browse the local shops which are filled with arts and crafts, paintings by local artists, and pottery just to name a few. Gatlinburg holds many of these old town shops in the Village Shops, and Pigeon Forge offers The Old Mill Village with an actual working mill to enjoy as you shop by the river. Specialty food shops are also available, such as the Apple Barn and Cider Mill where you'd better not miss the fried apple pies with a scoop of homemade ice cream. Having a quick snack will make the perfect day of shopping even better.
