Snooty Patootie is on the move

“We’re so excited,” Snooty Patootie owner Kay McGinnis said about moving from the store’s present location at 11110 Kingston Pike, near Sam & Andy’s, to 11134 Kingston Pike, located beside Wendy’s. “We’re pretty much doubling our space (from 2,400 square feet to 4,722 square feet).”
She said the store will open Monday, July 21, with a grand opening Friday and Saturday, July 25-26. A ribbon-cutting, sponsored by Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce, is slated for 11 a.m., Thursday, July 24.
“(The grand opening) is going to be a lot of fun,” McGinnis said. “We’re going to have food trucks, all kinds of giveaways, door prizes. It will be a big event.”
With the new location, “we’ll be in a stand-alone building, so that alone is amazing,” she said. “We’ve got a lot more parking; we’re right on Kingston Pike,
as far as road appeal — a bigger presence there — so yes, we’re very excited.
“We feel we’ll get a lot more customers who probably didn’t know we existed (in its current location),” McGinnis added.
About why she is moving, “we wanted to grow in Farragut,” McGinnis said. “There’s a need there. We love our customers; we love Farragut, and we just need more space.”
In its 10th year at 11110 Kingston Pike — the store opened in 2015 and expanded in 2018 — the owner observed the store has outgrown the space.
