Hands down, this was a complete experience and a must see when visiting Asheville. It is a relic…read morefrom the old days when general stores literally were just that and generally had everything. The place is massive and is located in the major retail and dining section, so park where you can. I went in there specifically for some snacks, but walked out with clothes, food, syrup, honey, and much more. They have multiple registers so it was a fast check out despite this place always appearing to be crowed. Also, they have a basement that looks more like a legit retail/clothing store than a general store and they also had a bunch of antiques around too. I was in awe of the old school cash register. Again, this is a must see and is great for the kids because of the authentic and homemade sweets and treats.

I went in to see if it could be fixed/i could be compensated and they basically called me dumb for even asking? lol? after this I looked up said ring to see if I could find anything similar and found it on about six sites for $10 from china! when they charged $70! ridiculous. I have been a long term customer here and wish I could take back my business.

If you see something that crosses your eye that could be useful and not something you may see automatically back home, you may be inclined to make a purchase like I did. I bought a couple of pairs of painter-inspired socks that were economically priced. The store manager was courteous as we made our purchases. Did I need the socks? Probably not because I have so many at home, but you can always ditch old socks, and their selection was nice and colorful, so I went for it.

I absolutely loved the wide variety of Christmas ornaments. They were all so unique! They had German beer steins, Portuguese pottery, Austrian ornaments for the tree, and Venetian glass. It was very fun to look at their wide selection of items from all over Europe. They even had Scottish tartan! I enjoyed looking at all of the Christmas ornaments and even took a few home to save for my Christmas tree this December.

There were a lot of goodies and apparels to choose from, which are made from recycled material and all done in house by Brandy. We picked a few and she voluntarily offered a good discount on the items. She even gave us a free bag for then stuff. She was very candid about providing discounts knowing what the items costed. That was very nice of her and reflected true customer focus. We were happy to have visited her store and I would highly recommend a stopover at her store to checkout and buy stuff. She had some funny t-shirts!

We will definitely be back!

Currently due to how Avl is I personally don't feel safe going into the store due to all of the panhandlers near this location. There is also not a lot of space to park. Overall this location on Haywood is very difficult to shop at.

I understand that they're different artists and vendors, but you should've have signs up throughout the entire store and across all artists creations to get you to buy more under the guise there's a sale. Lastly, they pass the credit card fee onto the customer, but don't offer an atm when they require cash. It is absurd to me that I am expected to pay to pay. This should be a cost of business and not an additional fee to shop at your business. Will not be back.
