Friend needs dealer in TN

Options
I have a friend who wants to become a BGE owner. He will be moving to TN, Mt Pleasant area, in a month. I advised him to wait until after the move to make a purchase. Can anyone give any recommendations on a helpful dealer in the area?

    BGE locator says there is a pool place in Mt. Juliet that is a dealer.  My daughter just graduated from Belmont U. but I never used any dealers up there except when I would stop a Lodge Factory Store occassionally

    There are a couple of dealers down here in Franklin but that would be a pretty good haul from Mt. Juliet.

    I use Hearth and Grill shop in Nashville.  They seem pretty reputable.  I've had no issues with them.

    I've been to The Choppin' Block in Clarksville. They are an Egg dealer and a butcher shop.

    I'll second Hearth and Grill in Nashville.  I know there is one in Franklin in the southside of Nashville, but not sure of the name.

    I've been to that store east of Nashville and was not impressed... Just me. I drove to Flaurence Al to Ken's sewing center and got couple hundred less and they serviced my wives sewing machine. Let me look at where MT Pleasant is. I'm in east central TN

    Looks like he's about equidistant between the too. I'd call Kens Sewing Center they gave me top notch deal and service.

    I just bought an XL from Quality Furniture (http://www.qfchome.com/) in Murfreesboro. It was a haul from where I live on the west side of town but they were $300-400 cheaper than everyone else I called in Nashville (which was all shops on the west and south side). I got an XL, Nest, Side Tables, and Plate setter for $1500 including tax). Took my Dad and I an hour to set everything up. 

    They had good deals on starter kits too but since I already own a large I passed.

    I purchased my egg from Hearth & Grill, Nashville. Pro's: Have egg's in stock, ok accessories & lump. They are probably the biggest egg dealer in greater Nashville area. They have been around for a long time, but I don't think Eggs are their staple revenue (fireplaces, stoves, etc.). Con's: Their prices are ~10% high. Also, I have had (2) horrible experiences (0 good experiences) with warranty claims with them. In short: I do not recommend them.
