K Brew's newest shop offers a look inside Belltown's growth in Powell | Exclusive
K Brew's newest location is more than a coffee shop. It's part of a growing cluster of local businesses helping turn Belltown into a walkable destination in Powell.

At 5 AM in Gatlinburg, most of the Parkway is still asleep, and the mountains are barely awake. One small shop already has its lights on and its cases filling up. It has been part of a family story in this town since 1969, and it still does things the old way, right down to taking cash only. Early hikers, road trippers, and people who saw it on TikTok all end up in the same short line.
