Lucille's General Store: A New Parkway Stop for Fudge, Brisket and Gifts

About

Lucille's General Store is one of the newest stops on the Pigeon Forge Parkway, opened in spring 2026 by the team behind Taco Ranch. It is part general store and part sweet-treat counter, with a compact kitchen serving from breakfast through dinner. It is an easy place to pause between attractions, pick up something sweet for the cabin, or sit down for a casual bite.

The kitchen is built around smoked meats: brisket and pulled-pork sandwiches share the menu with chicken tenders and biscuits and gravy. On the retail side you will find house-made fudge, popcorn made on site, beef jerky, craft sodas in glass bottles, and a mix of Smoky Mountain gifts, from handmade soaps and candles to puzzles and games. An ice cream counter rounds out the visit.

Outside, a patio with a fireplace and heaters looks out toward the Parkway, so the stop works as well on a cool autumn evening as it does in summer. The store sits at 2450 Parkway, in the building that previously housed Uncle Lem's Outfitters. Hours are not posted on the store's website, so a quick call ahead is the simplest way to confirm the kitchen is serving.
