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.

There's clothing, decorations, foodstuffs, barrels of candy, toys, souvenirs... I spent so much time on the first floor I didn't even go down to the lower level so I have no idea what's even down there. I even bought some clothes -- what I will now refer to as my Pioneer Woman outfit -- totally not my style but so soft and comfortable. Bring the whole family -- the kids will enjoy the large toy and candy section -- and I didn't even look at the large Mast-branded jams, jellies and jarred food section because I wouldn't be able to fit them in my suitcase. Definitely make this a stop on your AVL trip.

The part that made me want to leave two-star review was the way I was told that my gear wouldn't be accepted. The person who was doing intake told me "We don't accept trashy or tactical gear". None of the gear was tactical, we're talking Better Sweater from Patagonia here. Trashy seems a little extreme an adjective to describe someone's consignment gear. Felt like a too-cool-for-you vibe. We're in LA here right?

This location is a bit touristy for me but the store is a s clean, organized and friendly as always. They have taken the hardcore outdoor gear supplies down a knotch or two to make space for the things downtown visitors would live (in my opinion) as they have many more candles and stickers. They still have a decent shoe collection, quality clothing and some nice basic camping and glamping supplies. They also carry jewelry and other Knick knacks. People working are always super friendly.

I cant remember the mechanic's name that looked at my bike today. But i think it starts with a "J". Anyways, I"ll call him bottom bracket guy. I went afraid i might have to replace my bottom bracket (Expensive replacement) because there was alot of lateral wiggle in it. Another mechanic days earlier at REI, after just explaining the issue, bet it was just loose and may not need replacing. With high hopes of loose, Bottom Bracket Guy put it on the stand, and witha pull this way and a tug that-a-way, he looked at me said..."yup, it loose". And with that, whiped out a magic tool and with a turn this-a-way, and a twist that-a-way, my bottom bracket was fixed and the day was saved!! Some places would've told me it was broke and needed a new one which wouldve broken my bottom bracket!! Anyhow, an estatic thank you and again wonderful, honest service.

But honestly it's the French broad so that's a little questionable. Have not tried their actual guided tours or equipment rental. I can't believe I've been to hominy creek so many times and had no idea this place existed. What an oasis. Especially for summer months. On the weekends, it gets pretty busy with happy dogs and kids. They have their own food truck and they had some live music on Saturday. The food truck people were super nice, and they had a ton of vegetarian and vegan options. The bar has a lot of options for beer. Non-beer drinkers too. Surprising number for a small little shack. Lots of picnic tables to sit at and enjoy the weather. Little beach area and all within walking distance. Parking can get a little rough so be mindful.

French Broad Outfitters has you covered whether its hiking, tubing, or kayaking. Super helpful staff too! My family rented kayaks for the day and set out for the French Broad River.

Again staff is there to help all the way. I would do this again and highly recommend.

Date of visit: September 18, 2024…read more One of the many wonderful shops at the Biltmore Village, this one had a focus on clothing, but still offered a variety of other items at various price points. Since I am definitely on the lower end of the income spectrum of those who peruse this store, I didn't spend a ton of time looking at the Biltmore-stamped or "inspired" clothing items. Instead I found a jar of pumpkin butter to bring back for a friend as a souvenir as well as a lovely Biltmore shot glass for a friend that collects shot glasses but also is a realtor, so the picture of America's Largest House was naturally a big hit when I brought it home!

Walking in felt like stepping into a place that has completely given up on basic standards. The shelves were disorganized, sizes were missing everywhere, and the overall store looked like nobody bothered to maintain it. Trying to get help was just as frustrating. Employees were either nowhere to be found or seemed totally uninterested in doing their job. When you finally get someone's attention, the help you get is minimal at best. It's honestly shocking how little effort seems to go into customer service here. The prices are also way too high for what you get. A lot of the products look average at best, yet they're priced like top-tier gear. For a store that's supposed to specialize in sports equipment, the experience feels lazy and poorly managed. There are far better places to shop where the store is organized, the staff actually help you, and the prices make sense. After this visit, I have zero reason to ever come back.
