Whaley’s Country Store: Amish Goods, Local Crafts & Smoky Mountain Pantry Finds

Whaley’s Country Store is a family-owned shop on Waldens Creek Road where visitors can pick up Amish goods, locally made foods, crafts, home décor, souvenirs, and everyday grocery essentials.

About Whaley’s Country Store

Whaley’s Country Store has been serving the Smoky Mountain area since 2009 and is known for its broad selection of specialty foods and country-store staples. The store carries Amish goods from Ohio and Pennsylvania, locally made jams and jellies, bulk foods, gourmet foods, grilling supplies, locally made arts and crafts, soaps and lotions, home décor, souvenir T-shirts, coffee, candy, and general grocery items.

Part of the appeal is the mix of practical and gift-worthy items. You might stop in needing something for breakfast or a few groceries for the cabin and end up browsing jars of jam, honey, old-fashioned candy, locally made crafts, or specialty foods. Recent visitor reviews also mention meats and cheeses, coffee, and other pantry-style finds.

The store’s location in the Waldens Creek area makes it particularly useful for vacation-rental guests. Rather than making a trip into a larger shopping center for every small item, guests staying nearby can use Whaley’s as a convenient local resource while also enjoying the slower pace and friendly atmosphere associated with a traditional country store. Current local listings describe it as family-owned, clean, and welcoming, with free parking available.

Insider Tips

Whaley’s Country Store is a good place to stop before heading back to the cabin, especially if your group needs breakfast supplies, snacks, grilling items, or a few extras for a shared meal. You can also browse the specialty foods and locally made goods while you’re there rather than treating the visit as a strictly practical grocery run.

The store’s official local tourism listing currently lists Monday through Saturday, 9 AM–7 PM, with Sundays closed. Some third-party listings show different Sunday hours, so it is worth checking the current schedule before planning around a Sunday visit.

Parking is available, and the store is located in a small commercial area on Waldens Creek Road. If you’re traveling with a larger group, consider making one person the cabin-shopping list keeper before you go. With such a wide assortment of groceries, specialty foods, candy, gifts, and household items, it can be easy to come in for two things and discover several more worth taking back to the cabin.

Stay Hello Sunshine Tip

Pick up a few local treats at Whaley’s Country Store and make them part of a relaxed evening at Sunshine Around the Bend. Stock the gourmet kitchen, gather everyone around the dining table, then step outside to the private patio and fire table for an easy night together after a day in the Smokies.
