THE MERCANTILE
MARKET

MORE TO EXPLORE AT KERN'S.

Beyond the food and drinks, there's a whole other side of Kern's waiting to be explored. The Mercantile Market brings together local makers, specialty retailers, fitness, beauty, self-care, and distinctly Knoxville finds—all under one historic roof.

Browse handmade goods, pick up something orange for game day, discover a new favorite local brand, book a little time for yourself, or simply see what's new. With an ever-evolving mix of shops and experiences, no two trips through the Market have to look the same.
