4 Picks Worth the Stop

Walmart Supercenter
Two Walmart Supercenter locations serve the Blue Ridge area, and which one makes sense depends on when you're shopping. The Ellijay location sits right on GA-5/GA-515/US-76 — a natural stop on the drive up from Atlanta so you can arrive at the cabin already stocked. The Blue Ridge location is closer to the cabin if you'd rather check in first and make a quick run after settling in. Both carry a full selection of groceries, household supplies, and anything else you may have forgotten to pack.
Pro Tip
Hit the Ellijay Walmart on your way up from Atlanta — it's right on GA-515 and saves you from backtracking after check-in.

Ingles Markets
Ingles is the go-to full-service grocery store for most Blue Ridge cabin guests. Open daily 6 AM–11 PM, it stocks everything from fresh produce and custom-cut meats to a full deli, bakery, floral department, and pharmacy. The in-store Starbucks makes it a one-stop morning run, and the butcher counter will cut steaks to order — a nice perk when you're planning a big cabin dinner.
Pro Tip
The butcher counter will custom-cut steaks and roasts — just ask at the meat counter. No extra charge.

Food Lion
Food Lion is the most convenient traditional supermarket for guests staying on the east or south end of the Blue Ridge area. Open daily 7 AM–11 PM, it covers all the basics: fresh produce, meats, deli counter, bakery, paper goods, and cleaning supplies. Pickup and delivery options are available if you want groceries waiting at the cabin before you arrive — just order a day ahead via the Food Lion app.
Pro Tip
Create a free MVP account to unlock weekly digital coupons before your trip — they stack with sale prices and can save $10–$20 on a typical cabin grocery haul.
$ — Specialty General Store16 min from the cabinTue–Sat 10 AM – 3 PM
Taste of Amish & General Store
This small country store on Appalachian Highway specializes in Amish and Mennonite pantry staples you won't find at a chain grocery. Expect fresh-churned butter, heirloom jams, bread-and-butter pickles, aged cheeses, homemade peanut butter, and dried herbs and spices — plus health remedies, soaps, and baking supplies. Seasonal produce sourced from Mennonite farms in Benton rounds out the selection.
Pro Tip
Stock up on their house-made peanut butter and artisan jams for breakfast spreads — they also ship online if you want to reorder after you're home.
