Located in the heart of Gatlinburg’s high-traffic tourist district, this Tennessee specialty sports retail store is a proven performer with strong margins, steady sales, and a unique niche appeal. Situated on the busiest end of town, this well-established shop has become a favorite stop for sports fans, memorabilia collectors, and gift buyers visiting the Smokies.

This shop has been in business for over 25 years; current owner has owned since 2018. This is one of three stores seller owns—however, the other two locations (in SC and GA) operate under different names and are not included in this sale, although the one in SC may be available as well (ask the Broker). Seller wants to sell to stay closer to home while inching toward retirement- or let's say he's at 3rd and inches! The Gatlinburg store offers an exciting mix of licensed college and professional team merchandise, autographed collectibles, home décor, games, and apparel—making it a standout experience for tourists and fans alike.

This is a true turnkey opportunity:
• Absentee-owned, with a trusted manager and two supporting employees (1 full-time, 1 part-time)
• Consistent sales, averaging $1,200–$1,300 per day
• Good profit margins, including keystone pricing on standard items and a smaller percentage on premium collectibles
• Reliable systems in place, including Square POS and ADP for payroll

Seller may be open to seller financing for a creditworthy qualified buyer with a significant downpayment.

Approximately $135,000 in inventory is available and not included in the asking price. The inventory level is negotiable, as the seller can transfer excess or unwanted items to their other stores if the buyer prefers a smaller amount at closing. Inventory is maintained to consistently meet demands.
