One of the most enticing features of the Russell Stover Retail Store is its remarkable selection.

The store has a large display case housing many different varieties of fudge which are made fresh in the store.

This Russell Stover store carries many different pre-packaged candy boxes (with some exclusive flavor combos only available in this store), including the full line of Whitman’s products. These make great gifts in case you need to pick up something for someone back home, maybe as a thank-you gift for petsitting for you. They also have some sugar-free candies and Weight Watchers By Whitman’s chocolates for people who are on special diets.
Of course, you don’t have to select a pre-packaged box of chocolates; you’re free to get as creative as you’d like. One of the most popular options at the store is to create a Custom Build-A-Box from anything in their expansive candy case. So go nuts and design a box that speaks directly to your unique candy addiction!
Even if you aren’t crazy about candy, The Russell Stover Retail Store in Sevierville is still a fun place to stop and browse. Plus, you never know; looking at all of those beautiful treats displayed in the cases may spur you to pick up a few things to snack on during your trip. That’s one of the great things about this store—you can leave with enough chocolate to feed your family for a year, or just a single truffle to nibble on in the car. One thing is for sure, whatever you choose is likely to be delicious.
Insider Tip:
You’ll definitely want to browse all of the different selections in the front of the store, but the clearance section in the back is where you can find some of the most incredible candy deals anywhere. They even stock what they call “Bloopers” boxes, which are candies that have slight imperfections in them marked down significantly from the original retail price. They taste just as good as the perfect pieces, so the only time you’d really want to avoid them is if you’re looking for visually flawless chocolates to give as a gift.
