Whistle Stop Depot

The Most Unique Shopping Experience Under One Roof!

Established in late 1999, the owner’s vision for the Whistle Stop Mall was to create a place where visitors can see and touch history through the years. This vision has become the most unique shopping experience under one roof!
Whistle Stop is located in the beautiful town of Franklin, a place that is rich with culture and heritage, and can be found on the southern side of the Great Smoky Mountains of Western North Carolina.
The mall accommodates 60,000 square feet of antiques, retail stores and dining to meet everyone's needs. Come and enjoy the trains, tractors, automobiles and collectibles; a true connection to the past. You will also find some new items that will keep you in the present along the way. See you soon!
