“The AMVETS in Knoxville is definitely one of the better ones in the area. Knoxville has a bit of a higher standard of living so the merchandise is a bit better. The prices at AMVETS is always fair. They don't rape you on stuff like a religious thrift store in the area. I like to help veterans so that's a plus for me. The selection here is very good. Lot's of clothing, books, movies, household items, dishes, cookware, furniture, and all at competitive prices. Things are tough and we have kids that are growing rapidly. Thrift stores are the way to go for clothes. This place really provides a great service. We highly recommend a visit and will continue to visit ourselves.”

“Excellent selection! It’s a hybrid between an old fashioned thrift store but also has some more boutique type items that are great if you are looking for a gift. The prices are honestly some of the best in town. Inventory seems to be changed up often so I like to check back in frequently. Super sweet owners that are in the store a lot. It’s such a hidden gem!”

“LOVE this shop! Well stocked, well maintained with better quality items for a thrift shop. Great prices, too! A retired couple opened and run this shop as a ministry. Proceeds go toward meeting needs of down trodden or others in need (providing clothing, food, etc), all the while presenting the gospel! This shop feels like family!”

He retrieved the globe and i was on my way in less than 5 minutes. Exceptional customer service is rare these days and that is what i recieved from him. Thank you so much for your understanding sir, you are an asset to the goodwill for sure.”

“They do a great job of clothing and feeding prople. That's the mission. The thrift store, which helps support that, is one of the best in town. From variety, inventory, staff and prices - it's simply the best. (Love sweet Ms. Nancy at the register.)
Complainers gotta complain. Go to the chain thrift stores, pay 10 times more and leave wondering where the money goes!
Not here though. You see the needs being met.”

“Let me start off by saying—-I love this store!!! I live in Kingston, but my son lives in Seymour so every time I come to see him I have to come in this KARM store. It is so clean and organized. I love it. Also the staff is so friendly, so open to me asking them questions. I met two new friends in there today Debbie and Craig. Another staff member thanked me for shopping there! You just don’t see that anywhere else. I cannot say enough about how great this store is!!!!!”

“It's organized by type of item like shoes or tank tops, etc. It's arranged by sizes but it's all mixed up, like most thrift stores are. The prices are very reasonable. Not like Karm! The music played is not all the religious kind either. Everyone was friendly and helpful. I found some really good deals.”

“My daughter and I went in to find her an outfit for a last minute event. I can’t tell you how happy I was with this store. Very organized and the employees were extremely helpful. A lady by the name Amanda helped us find everything we needed and was patient with my very shy daughter. I can’t thank you enough for making her night so special.”

“I had not visited this store in years! It use to feel dark and dirty and was always a mess. Yesterday I was at the shopping center and decided to try again. I was so glad I did! The store was clean, welcoming, bright and nice to shop in. The store worker mentioned to me that they desperately need men's clothing. If you need to clean your closets, donate to these people.”

“Love thrifting when I'm out of town. KARM was great - furniture pricing is a bit high and misleading if you're not paying attention. Staff is great and super helpful.”

“KARM is always great. Lots to choose from. But you have to be selective because some of the prices are pretty high. I understand that our purchases go to feeding the hungry and much more, but my goodness!”

“Just got done shopping there, we didn't have all the money to cover the last item we had left (embarrassing) it was the only thing my fiance wanted, he was super excited about it the whole time even as we were checking out and then of course, our luck, we dont have it. Luckily though, I had most of it and my fiance had what he had on his card, but again.. were lacking like 80 something cents. (Not much, I know.. but still sucks..) but, thank jeebus for the young girl with the brown shoulder length hair, (asked her name but the whole situation stressed me out so much I cant even remember) just that she was at the register, and she used/scanned all the throw away gift cards with extra change on it til it added up to what we had left and BOOM we did it. Team work! But, long story short, she was awesome. Definitely a life saver. That girl deserves a raise. I'll definitely be coming back, thanks to her. She made my first visit there great, out of all the karms I've been too this one was the cheapest for one, and 2 the girl who checked us out and did so much more for us without us even asking her. She was the best part of it!”

“Where Treasure Hunting Meets Extreme Couponing

If you’ve never been to a KARM store, let me paint the picture: it’s like a thrift store and a treasure chest had a love child, and they decided everything needed to be ridiculously affordable. I went in for “just a quick look” and came out with a cart full of the most random yet glorious finds, including a vintage lamp, a slightly terrifying porcelain cat, and a pair of jeans that somehow fit me perfectly.

The staff is amazing—kind, cheerful, and nonjudgmental, even when you buy 12 picture frames with no intention of printing photos. The prices? Chef’s kiss. I felt like I was robbing the place but with their full consent.

The best part? The sheer unpredictability of it all. One minute you’re looking at designer shoes for $5, and the next, you’re holding a waffle maker that probably belonged to someone’s grandma in the ‘80s (and yes, it still works).

Sure, it’s a bit chaotic, but that’s the fun of it. KARM isn’t just a store—it’s an adventure. Whether you’re furnishing your apartment or just in the mood for a good laugh over quirky finds, this place delivers every time. Highly recommend it for thrifting enthusiasts and bargain hunters alike!”

“I was there with a friend, the questions being asked I'm unsure of only because I was not really looking for anything at KARM Stores. But the store looked clean and organized if that helps?”

“Whatever you can think of, this place has it. Outdoor furniture. Beach chairs. Tables. End tables. Dressers. Tvs. Bookcases. Shoes. Clothes. Tools. Welcome mats. Screws and nails. Dishes. Silverware. Baking and cooking everything. Pillows. Blankets. Workout stuff. Animal traps. Pet cages and carriers. Pet toys. Garden tools. Garden decorations.
Literally, anything you can think of.”

“I recently visited a KARM Store in Tennessee, and I was honestly surprised by how good the experience was. I’ve been to a lot of thrift stores before, but this one stood out in a few ways.

First off, the store is really well organized. Everything is color-coordinated, easy to browse, and laid out in a way that feels closer to a normal retail store than a thrift shop. It didn’t feel messy or overwhelming at all. The clothing racks were neat, the home decor section was arranged nicely, and even the furniture was set up in a way that made it easy to picture how it would look at home.

The staff was super friendly, too. Everyone I interacted with was polite and helpful, and you can tell they actually care about the place and the mission behind it. They weren’t pushy or rude like you sometimes get in thrift stores.

One of the biggest things I appreciate about KARM is the purpose behind it. Everything you buy goes toward supporting people facing homelessness and helping them get back on their feet. Knowing that my purchase actually helps someone in the community makes the whole experience feel even better.

The store also has a huge variety of items. I found clothing, home decor, small appliances, books, and even some brand-name pieces that were barely used. You never really know what you’re going to find, which makes it fun to look around.

If I had to point out one thing, it’s that some items are priced a little higher than what you might expect at a thrift store—but honestly, with how clean and organized the store is (and the fact that the money goes to a great cause), I didn’t mind it.

Overall, I’d definitely recommend the KARM Store to anyone in Tennessee. Whether you’re looking for good deals, unique finds, or just want to support a meaningful mission, it’s a great place to shop. I’ll definitely be going back.”
