The Generalist

The Generalist A new kind of general store, powered by community commerce and posi-vibes. (We also sell really cool stuff.) Dog friendly! Curiousity friendly! People friendly!

More than a retail space for booth rentals, The Generalist is a hub of shared resources and community in East TN for the maker, vendor, and artist entrepreneurs in our region and beyond. Come see what we're about.
