About the Business

Specialties

Puckett's roots stretch way back to the '50s and a little grocery store in the village of Leiper's Fork, Tenn. Ever since then, we've been focused on providing friends new and old with great food and Southern hospitality -- and four restaurants later, that aim still rings true. Puckett's has built a name on hosting live, local musical acts and serving Southern staples -- classics like meat-and-three items and our famous slow-smoked BBQ -- in a laid-back and down-home atmosphere. If that sounds like you're kind of place, then you're our kind of person.

History

Established in 1984.

Founded by the Puckett family decades ago, the namesake country store served communities in rural Tennessee for years. It was a place to grab the week's groceries or a fill a tank of gas -- but it was also a gathering spot in Leiper's Fork for many decades. Andy Marshall grew up in the grocery business. When he launched his own career in the industry at the age of 26, it led to the entrepreneur owning several Piggly Wiggly stores across the Southeast. In the mid-1990s, Marshall's love of food, music and community began to steer him in a different direction. His desire was to serve one small town with just one store, where he could also offer home-cooked family recipes to the community he was serving. So in 1998, he decided to sell all of his stores and purchase a little gem in the heart of Leiper's Fork. That gem was Puckett's Grocery.
