There is an entire downstairs that offers clothing brands like Columbia, Vuori, and more! There is some camping gear and camping shoes. It was an unexpected surprise to find that section.

They did have some, but they were generic. I wanted something more specific to the area. There is a parking garage nearby. The area is super busy and you may have to walk a ways to get to the store.

I walked into Mast General Store expecting a typical shopping experience... but was immediately…read morestruck by the sheer variety of offerings. The store is a treasure trove, offering high-end camping gear alongside a nostalgic selection of candy sold by weight. This wide angle creates a unique shopping experience that caters to a depth of audience. The aisles are stocked with university-branded apparel and an eclectic mix of knick-knacks and toys, blending modern and vintage elements seamlessly. Navigating through the store I found myself drawn to the carefully curated sections featuring well-known brands like L.L. Bean and Patagonia, each showcasing top-tier camping gear. The store's commitment to quality is evident in every product, promising durability and reliability for outdoor enthusiasts. The candy aisle is what is the most impressive to me having all of the old-school candy and the ability to buy what you want per the weight or even a separate bag for gifts later on to family member members makes this experience truly wonderful. Overall, Mast General Store offers a distinctive blend of functionality and fun, making it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking unique finds or quality outdoor equipment. I'll definitely be returning to explore more of what this gem has to offer. RATINGS & LOGISTICS: - Atmosphere: 10/10 - Exhibit Quality: 8/10 - Service/Flow: 8/10 - Value: 9/10 - Would Return: Yes.

They also carry regular, non-orange clothing and accessories, as well as shoes, gifts, home and bath items, books, jewelry and more. There's so much to see and this would be a go-to spot for me for gifts if I lived in the area. I went in twice while staying downtown and fell in love with this cute leather cross-body bag. I was curious to see if the brand/designer was local, so I looked it up online. It was not local and the bag was steeply discounted online (50% off) vs the price at Bliss, so I ended up ordering it online directly from the brand. I do love to support local businesses and shops, but I also have to consider my budget. That being said, this is a great place to stop for a unique souvenir or gift for yourself or someone else!

This store is well-named and is bright, cheery, and beckons you inside from the street.

There are clothes/shoes, games, jewelry, skincare, books, TN/Knoxville-specific goods, and knickknacks galore. There are many items that you don't even KNOW you need until you feast your eyes on them. The staff was welcoming and friendly without being overzealous. I need to go back in without my husband so that I can overanalyze the differing varieties of lip balms without judgmental eyes. ha!
