Walland Center is a small, family-owned business that offers a variety of products, including freshly cooked sandwiches, groceries, souvenirs, and more. It has a nostalgic feel, reminding visitors of a time when everyone knew each other and gathered to socialize. Customers appreciate the friendly and helpful staff who go above and beyond to assist. The deli serves food cooked to order, which is highly praised, and the store features more variety than a typical convenience store. Many visitors stop by regularly, often after outdoor activities like hiking in the Smokies, to pick up essentials such as Gatorade, boiled peanuts, or a quick meal. The store is well-stocked, with a welcoming atmosphere and a sense of community. It is a convenient stop about halfway between Maryville and Townsend, making it a popular destination for locals and travelers alike.
I almost used the bathroom even though it was disgusting and the toilet was horrifically clogged just to add to the problem but I'm a better person than that. Clean your bathroom for God's sake.

Not the cleanest or most organized convenience store, yet always busy. Perhaps due to the good location. Definitely not someplace I would stop after dark.

Bathrooms disgusting and smell horrible. food sits out all day. Attendant told me the biscuits were fresh and it was hard as a rock. Prices for general items are inflated because of location. I would avoid.
