Celebrating Locally Owned Businesses Across the Smokies
Smoky Mountain Locally Owned was created to spotlight and support the real businesses that make the Smoky Mountains feel like home — for locals and visitors alike.
Our Story
Growing up around the Smoky Mountains, we saw firsthand how much locally owned businesses bring life, character, and heart to this region.
Smoky Mountain Locally Owned was born from a simple idea: to make it easier for tourists and locals to discover, support, and celebrate the businesses that make the Smokies truly special.
Our directory isn’t just about places to eat, shop, or stay — it’s about helping small business owners thrive and preserving the authentic spirit of our mountain communities.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: to support locally owned businesses across the Smoky Mountains by connecting them with both tourists and locals who appreciate authenticity, quality, and community spirit.
We believe every dollar spent at a local business strengthens families, enriches our communities, and preserves the unique character of the Smokies for generations to come.
