Gamehaven Plus in West Knoxville is gone, and the Cookeville store doesn't have the "Plus" either.
Remove all Packards games from all locations. Oak Ridge is still there, but going out of business (Bankrupt, scammer owner didn't pay his taxes).
Add CM Games for West Knoxville (West Town Mall), West Knoxville (Cedar Bluff Road), and East Knoxville (Knoxville Center Mall). Cedar Bluff location was a Packards, but has since changed hands. Prices took a dive after new owners came in, I was able to get DS Radiant Historia for $24 compaired to $40 before. Missed a Wii Xenoblade Chronicles for $19 though.
Add Next Generation Games for North Knoxville/Powell.
Add to the Nashville McKay a Knoxville and Chattanooga location. Prices are mixed, but I don't agree with the $$$ completely.
I dont know if this has been suggested or not, but I think you should sort by State, then by city. Not by State then Store name. It makes it easier to scan for stores near you. I'm not sure if others would feel the same. Just a thought.

Updated!
It makes sense until stores have multiple locations. While I agree that searching by city would be simpler, a complete overhaul would require time I don't have combined with the laziness I do have. At one point I considered converting it into a database/web browsing system. But again, time +laziness...
Was coming back from Hotlanta over the weekend and did some research for stores on the way home. There is one in Corbin KY you can add to the list, The Game King. They have a nice selection of retro games. Prob not going to get any great deals though, they were sitting there looking up all the stuff they get in and basing it off Amazon pricing.
Went and checked out Monster Games in Wesley Chapel the other day and it was awesome! Lots of sealed N64 and SNES games.. Saw a ton of SNES and NES gems so definitely check it out if you're in the area, then hit up Smoothie King like I did lol
i just wanted to note that Video Game X-Change is still in Madison. They've been here for years. I was just there last week. It's a good shop with plenty of classic systems and a very knowledgeable owner. He was running 2 stores a couple years ago, but now has just one.
Anyway, you can put that back on the list. It is still here.
I'm not sure if you're including these, but there's a used books & movies shop in the northern parts of VA that has several walls of retro gaming items, as well as multiple glass cases of retro product. They also sell NIB clone systems and accessories. Asides from eStarland, northern VA doesn't really have any retro game shops, this is basically the only other option.
There's 2-3 others that have been moving locations around town constantly like GameCrazy, but 1UP and Brian's Video Trader are the most notable and most established in the area.
Play n Trade Ocala and Ocala East have closed down, and Gamer's Edge (new location) has taken their place, and is ran by the former owners and employees.
