KARM Stores is a thrift store dedicated to breaking the cycle of homelessness in East Tennessee. The store is decorated nicely and clean, offering a wide variety of items such as furniture, household goods, clothing, and collectibles. However, the pricing of the items has been a concern for some customers, as they feel the prices are more retail-oriented than typical thrift store offerings. While the front associates were not helpful when a customer had an issue with locked keys, a crew member named Jacob quickly assisted in finding a solution. Overall, KARM Stores aims to support critical programs at Knox Area Rescue Ministries to help achieve sustainable living and a restored life in Christ through the donations and purchases made at their thrift store.
I got some cute clothes for great prices! The money goes to a good cause.

This location is magical. Somehow they always have exactly what I need. I went in a few weeks ago looking for a walking pad desk and found several options AND a BOSU ball AND rollerblades in my size :O Also the employees are super friendly here! Everything is also very well organized here as well!

Prices a little high for a thrift store. There is a wheelchair available for those that need it, though it does not have any foot pedals.
