I am happy to announce that, as long as the deal doesn't implode, budsgunshop.com is coming to Sevierville. It will feature several indoor shooting ranges equipped to handle all pistol calibers and most if not all rifle calibers and I believe I understood him to say a tactical rifle/pistol range. It will also feature a large retail area and classrooms to teach anything from HCP classes to defensive tactics . The developers are also working to get a food vendor, such as firehouse subs or similar to set up shop there too. It was presented to me as "manland" a place to come to hang out even if you are not buying or using the range. The conceptional drawings looked awesome! It will be in an existing building close to Smoky Mountain Knife Works.

I have a feeling that for every "I won't buy from Bud's" post in this thread they will have twenty in store customers that hadn't bought from them in the past.   Bud's won't be hurting. They may do

That good & bad news at the same time. I've visted Buds at their retail location in KY a few times & their selection is insane & ammunition prices are geat, but part of the reason I order guns from Bud's is their prices are lower than anyone's & no sales tax. I guess it's possible that the money I'd save on FFL transfers could make up for the sales tax.

 

That leads me to another question. How much is sales tax in the Seviereville area?

All of TN is currently 9.75% I believe

 

Incorrect.

 

The State of TN official sales tax rate is 7.0% with local options for up to 2.75%  In other words 9.75 is the abolute maximum.  Not all jurisdictions assess the full 2.75% that they can.  For example, Knoxville/Knox County is only 9.25% total.

But does this mean I will have to pay sales tax on stuff that I order from them?

As long as their prices don't increase, Bud's will likely continue to be cheaper than most other local retailers, even after sales tax. Online is a different story. May have to order more from Kentucky Gun Company.

I got an email back from Bud's stating they have no plans of opening another location. I do know that Bud's is the only other location in the U.S. that has a Smoky Mtn. Knife Works display. Maybe that had something to do with the rumors. I guess time will tell. Either way, here's the return email from Bud's.

 

From Bud's: "Unfortunately, to my knowledge (unless WAY above my pay grade) we do not have plans opening another store.

Sorry for the bad news!

Thanks,
Camran

I either once read here or somewhere, the owner of Knife Works and Buds are best buds.  I would assume the foot traffic would increase in Sevierville location vs. Lexington, but I would assume this would be store #2.

So, is this just a rumor?

I'm a building inspector for the city of Sevierville and any new or remodeling of this type must come through my office. So its more than a rumor. They went through the process of getting the property rezoned so the range could be there and are set to close on the building that houses Coleman and is next door to SMKW.

Unless your from out of town, then the Hatfield and McCoy tickets require a 7 hour tour on a golf cart of a time share.
