They are originally from the southern part of Fort Myers, FL. For twenty years the Pulley family was regular visitors of the Mountains. Approximately five years ago, Jeff and Pam made the decision to move themselves and their two beautiful daughters to small town of Bryson City, NC, the gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains. Jeff and Pam weren’t too sure what they were going to do after their big move. They contemplated the idea of running a family business. The words from Jeff were “What better way to teach your children how to run a business, then by running a business”, and so the search began. They came across a little coffee café “Mountain Perks”. It was in a great location, right across from the Smoky Mountain Railroad. The Pulleys could see that the Café not only had many locals and tourists visiting the place, but that there was a loyal following of locals that just made it feel like home. Jeff and Pam knew it would be a great business and wonderful friendship to come!

To our wonderful customers, friends, and team,

It’s with mixed emotions that we share some big news: after nearly 17 incredible years, the time has come for our family to hand over the keys to the next chapter of Mountain Perks. Our final day behind the counter will be Monday, September 7th.

When we took over Mountain Perks 17 years ago, we hoped to build a steady business, but we never could have anticipated how much this place—and all of you—would mean to us. You didn’t just support a local shop; you welcomed our family into your daily routines, your mornings, and your lives. Together, we built something truly special, filled with great conversations, plenty of laughter, and countless cups of coffee.

To our customers and friends: Thank you for your loyalty, your smiles, and every single memory made across these tables. You’ve been the heart of Mountain Perks, and your support over the years means more to us than we can put into words.

To our amazing staff: You have been the true backbone of this journey. Thank you for your hard work, your energy, and for making every day behind the counter so much fun. We didn't just build a team—we built an extended family, and we’re so grateful for each of you.

To our family: Mountain Perks has truly been a family effort from day one. Our daughters, Mekenzie and Kaitlyn, started working behind the counter when we first bought the shop, and over the years, spending holidays working together became our favorite family tradition. Having them by our side through it all made these 17 years so much sweeter. And as our family grew, we were lucky enough to recruit three very dedicated "quality control" officers—our grandsons AJ, Roman, and Ren—who took their job of taste-testing the food very seriously!

While this is the end of our chapter here, it isn’t the end of the story for Mountain Perks. A new ownership team is stepping in, full of excitement, fresh ideas, and a deep respect for what this shop means to our community.

We hope you’ll give them the same warm welcome, patience, and support you extended to our family when we first started out 17 years ago. Transitions take a little time, but we know they are going to do great things.

Thank you for 17 unforgettable years. We will carry these memories with us always.

With love and gratitude,
Jeff and Pam Pulley

Many of you know Kaitlyn from her time at Mountain Perks and have been part of her journey over the years. Today, we are sharing her story and asking our community to support her during a difficult chapter in her life.

In April 2025, Kaitlyn was involved in a severe car accident that left her with a fractured wrist and a fractured spine. Since then, she has continued to push through daily pain while working and caring for her family. After more than a year of living with these injuries, she is now preparing for spinal surgery this November.

While her medical expenses are covered, her recovery will require approximately three months away from work, creating a financial hardship. We are sharing her GoFundMe to help ease the burden of essential everyday expenses while she focuses on healing.

If you are able to donate, any amount is greatly appreciated. If you are unable to give, sharing her story and keeping her in your thoughts means just as much.

Thank you for the kindness, support, and love that our Mountain Perks community has always shown.

In April of 2025, my life changed in an instant when I was involved in a sev… Kaitlyn Pulley needs your support for Help Me Through My Spinal Surgery Recovery
