Tyler provided expert fly fishing guidance, was quick to tie on the best suited flies, and quickly untied air knots and tangles for us with a positive attitude.

I decided to stop in, having visited the old Mountaineer Mania several times previously, and was shocked to find an entirely new store inside. The premise of the store is the same, a wide selection of AppState apparel and gifts. But I was impressed to see really nice selections of Nike and Columbia branded apparel at very reasonable prices. I had only planned to purchase a polo but ended up walking out with some other things as well. The sales associate working that day was friendly App student who was able to quickly answer my questions. Overall, a great update to a King St. staple!

The store offers a small throw back to simpler times, selling anything and everything one would need for their household under one roof. They even had a slogan early on of "if you can't buy it here, you don't need it". The store offers homewares (glassware, plates, pots, pans and cast iron), decor, snack items, jelly's/jams, milled products, soaps, gifts, clothing, camping gear, and even barrels upon barrels of candy by the pound. With 2 floors fully stocked of product, it offers a glimpse of how things were in olden times. Pricing on many items is very fare, from what I saw and was able to compare. Staff were all very friendly, checking in as we shopped to see if there is anything we could be helped with. It's a fun store to poke through, with lots of nostalgia

We came here today when visiting the Boone Mall. I grew up in the area, went to elementary and…read morehigh school here and was glad to see some gear available from my high school along with college and grad school and professional teams. A note about the service--I actually was happy to be not suddenly approached by an overly enthusiastic employee when I initially walked into the store. You know the kind of place where you walk in just to browse and someone just comes up to you and asks if you're looking for anything? I was looking for a specific item and after a few minutes of browsing, the guy behind the counter came up to ask if he could help me find anything. He was super nice and helped me look for items similar to what I was looking for. When we couldn't find the size I wanted, I asked for a few other items and he found some for me right away. I ended up finding the perfect shirt for my kid that was the right size, player, and team. As I was paying, I chatted with him that I had gone to High school here and was glad to see my school's shirts/gear were being sold--it turns out he was also an alum of my school too (about 8 years before so we didn't know each other), but it turns out he owns the store and opened since 1990. They have expanded to a few other locations as well. I was just about to leave a nice review but noticed some 1 stars on here from people who have done a total of 1 to 3 Yelp reviews--really people? Those should have been filtered out. So just to address some of those 1 star reviews on Yelp complaining of not having attentive service--if you needed something, why not just ask the person who is behind the counter instead of writing that the employee was not paying attention to customers? Anyway, I'd be back if I wanted to find another team or player shirt, jersey, etc. This was actually my first time coming in the store and I was glad to see it still here after so many years. --------TL;DR-------- PROS: friendly service, small business feel, nice location at the mall with easy parking. Prices are reasonable and on par with national chains like Foot Locker or Lids or other stores I've bought sports memorabilia at. CONS: none BOTTOM LINE: this is a great small business to find your team's clothes or other team gear to show your support. Service is actually great
