Jeremy, the proprietor was very nice and full of a vast array of knowledge of the period and pieces in the store. The history behind some of the pieces in his shop was amazing! He wrapped up the vase nicely and it safely made the journey back to California with me without any issues. I highly recommend stopping in this great small business in Amherst. I look forward to going back one day.

Having been a Jeweler/ metalsmith for 50 years, I realize that this is not the call you want. I went in, (without an appt.) and had my diamonds looked at, and found out exactly what they were, how much they were worth on the open market, and had a great exchange with the person I talked with. Some of it was brutal truth, but given/delivered in a very realistic and personal manner. -Very good honest and friendly people. Go there!

Picture this: Nestled in the corner of a destination outdoor shopping plaza, you find The General…read moreStore. Inside you can find penny candy by the pound, a bit past the entrance with local papers and events. This might be where you expect a local General Store to offer you, if you mistook them for Provisions around the corner. At Provisions, you'd find more drinks, some foods, and other house staples. At The General Store, you can find, generally, everything else, including Art you didn't know you needed. I suppose the candy is a reliable reason for my visit, so let's suppose you don't have a sweet tooth. Behind, surrounding you, and on both sides, is a wide variety of foods, oils, snacks, tools, fashion, entertainment, toys, some of these for your pets, and then some. It's for this reason that The General Store is also home to local events, and makes space for art showings in the section opposite gifts, foods, and diversions, and the art is diverse and marvelous. This cozy spot in the corner of the shopping plaza places you near other necessities, such as activities, classes, ice cream (Herrel's), restaurants, and more. Largely, I can imagine The General Store being a monthly or even biweekly as a destination, since events come often and candy runs out. It befits the Massachusetts regional culture, letting you get access to local farmer's cropshares, ice cream even in winter, and clean bathrooms. I think I even saw an authentic barrel™ in here! Do they know a cooper?

The General Store is also connected to the Local Art Gallery, where they have displays of many different artists and types of artwork. The Mill District General Store has nearly everything in it. They have gardening tools, clothes, bedding, picnic baskets, cleaning supplies, shaving supplies, handmade candles, cat + dog food and toys, kids toys and books, maple syrup products, mugs, candles, pots + pans, and an assortment of just about everything. They also have art supplies for sketching, drawing, painting, etc. The first day I visited, I was helped by Anthony. The second time Shannon was super helpful, along with Manny, the sweet pup! The third time, Lewis helped me. Every staff member was genuinely happy to be working here and it made it a very pleasant shopping experience. They have a lot of great inventory, just make sure you have some time to check it out! They also have a pretty good coffee station with mugs.

For those who don't know, you…read moregenerally can't walk in a purchase a Rolex, you must add your name to a list and wait for the specific watch you desire to arrive. This guarantees you'll be in store at least twice. While that's hard for someone who has little patience, they made it a pleasure. The staff are all very accommodating, patient, and add no pressure. From the first visit to I received my watch it was 3 months. The watch was everything I imagined. The store is beautiful and the staff so helpful. I will be back for my next Rolex purchase!!
