Retail Space For Lease | 849 Glades Road, Gatlinburg, TN

Highlights:

• Anchor restaurant draw: Split Rail Eats generates strong daily foot traffic and repeat visitation to the complex, benefiting every neighboring tenant.
• Built-in customer base: Residential apartments within the community mean residents and rental guests are walking past your shop every day. The complex markets itself.
• New ownership, active reinvestment: Under new ownership, the complex has seen significant repairs and updates throughout. The owner plans to continue reinvesting in the property, with potential initiatives including community-wide advertising to drive even more traffic to tenant storefronts.
• Historic location with modern momentum: The Arts & Crafts Community is a proven retail destination, not a speculative one. It has drawn visitors for nearly 90 years.

Position your business on Glades Road in the Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Community, where 14 million annual visitors come to experience the authentic Appalachian craft tradition that made Gatlinburg famous. Covered Bridge Shops offers retail storefronts in a mixed-use complex with a built-in customer base from on-site residential apartments and a destination restaurant anchor. With new ownership investing in repairs, updates, and future community advertising, this is an opportunity to get in early on a property with rising momentum.

At $12/sqft with select utilities included and zero NNN fees, this is among the most cost-effective retail space in the Gatlinburg market. Two suites are available: a 1,800 sqft space that can be divided into two smaller shops (800 and 1,000 sqft), and a 1,550 sqft premium shop. Both are partial buildouts, ready for your finish. One space previously operated as a restaurant and retains useful existing infrastructure.

This is not a Parkway storefront with Parkway pricing. It is a community location with community rent, situated on the road that anchors the largest artisan trail in North America. If your business benefits from destination shoppers, craft-focused visitors, and a residential customer base, this is where you want to be.
