Smoky Mountain Munchies Opens in Knoxville, Tennessee
Smoky Mountain Munchies, a new hemp and THCA products shop, has recently opened its doors at 122 South Gay Street in Knoxville, Tennessee. The store is founded by partners Daniel Lakin, Jonathan Haines, Chris Haines, and Clifford Amann. The four owners, who have a long history together, decided to embark on this venture after working together at Archers BBQ.
Partners Behind Smoky Mountain Munchies
The partnership of Daniel Lakin, Jonathan Haines, Chris Haines, and Clifford Amann came together through their shared experiences at Archers BBQ, where they all served as managers before the establishment closed down. With a desire to pursue a less stressful business idea, the quartet explored various possibilities before settling on the hemp and THCA industry.
Product Range and Emphasis
At Smoky Mountain Munchies, there is an emphasis on offering local and regional products, particularly in their selection of glassware. The store sells a variety of legal Delta 8 and THCA products, along with well-known national brands to cater to a diverse customer base looking for both recreational and medicinal options.
Expanded Offerings and Vision
Smoky Mountain Munchies plans to expand its product line to include more locally sourced items such as Lolo Bars. Additionally, the store intends to introduce infused granola, honey, and oils to cater to customers seeking alternative ways to enjoy hemp-based products beyond traditional edibles. By focusing on educating customers about the benefits of these products and dispelling stigma, the owners hope to create a welcoming and informative environment at their new location.
Community Engagement and Store Experience
Located in the vibrant Arts District of downtown Knoxville, Smoky Mountain Munchies has become a part of the local community. The owners express their appreciation for the welcoming atmosphere and are dedicated to providing an inclusive space where customers can explore and learn about hemp and THCA products in a friendly setting.
