Cabbage Rose

We, Scott and Troy, moved to Maggie Valley and opened a store called 'The Tarnished Swan' in 1982. It was a 400-square-foot space purchased with two thousand dollars borrowed from family. Scott worked in the store during the day while Troy was a waiter at J. Arthur's, a restaurant.

In 1986, we expanded to a new shopping complex right in the center of Maggie Valley. Troy thought it would be a good idea to rent a store there, that’s when we opened a new store and called it Cabbage Rose. The Tarnished Swan was sold after a year to focus on Cabbage Rose.

We always stay on top of what our customers are looking for and pride ourselves in providing excellent customer service while offering quality merchandise at great prices.

We started out with just one section of our store which was about 3000 square feet and now we have grown to over 10,000 feet. You'll find ladies apparel, fashion jewelry, home accents, bath and body products, art, potpourri, and a 2500-square-foot Christmas shop under our roof!

When you visit Cabbage Rose, it isn't just another shopping trip, it's an experience to remember! A memory to cherish when you look back on the good times spent in the Mountains.

Over the years, Cabbage Rose has become more of a destination store than a shopping store. People from all over the world come to shop at Cabbage Rose, and usually pay two or three visits per trip. And for those of you who can't visit our physical store, you can always shop for our products on this retail site.
