We were on vacation in the area and it was raining; a perfect time to visit the Mast General Store!…read more We slowly walked through the entire store, picked out a handful of our favorite candies and a cold bottle of pop. We sat on the front sidewalk and watched the clouds roll by. I noticed a section of the wall at the front entrance that showed the water lines at different times in history (see picture). That is the kind of history that only an old building has seen. The people that work here are glorious! Very helpful! They made our visit that much more memorable. This is a must visit location for all ages when you are visiting the area! Most Sincerely, Dayla

The Original Mast General Store is located in Valle Crucis, NC. It was opened by Henry Taylor back…read morein 1883 as the Taylor General Store and has been operating ever since, so they are definitely doing something right! The landmark is on the National Register of Historic Places and is quite a popular place. While you won't be able to park right out front as they did in the past, there is plenty of parking located conveniently behind the store. W.W. Mast bought a half stake of the business in 1897, then bought the other half in 1913, changing the name to Mast General Store It was truly the Amazon of its day, offering everything you could possibly need with the motto, "goods for the living, coffins and caskets for the dead," which prompted the local phrase, "If you can't buy it here, you don't need it ." When the economy changed and the original store closed in 1977, it was thankfully saved and reopened in 1980 by preservationists John and Faye Cooper The front corner of the store features an active town post office The store spans two levels with beautifully creaking floorboards that instantly let you know you are in a nostalgic place filled with history. A lot of the original advertising posters from Mr. Mast are still mounted on the walls alongside the vintage counters and fixtures The original cast iron potbellied wood stove is still used to heat the store, the functional wooden trap doors in the floorboards still remain from where chickens historically were traded for store credit, and you can even get a cup of coffee for just 5 cents. You will find a massive variety of cast-iron cookware, old-fashioned candy in barrels, postcards, books, high-quality clothing, footwear, toys, and traditional mercantile goods. I even bought a delicious fried apple pie! The historic Little Red Schoolhouse sits right behind the main building and offers clearance merchandise, though I just enjoyed looking at the older architecture and reading about the school.

This is a smaller outlet mall but that doesn't mean that you can't still get your retail therapy…read morehere. The layout is a simple arch, so park wherever you can find a close space and plan to walk out and then back. The walkway is nicely covered so you can still shop here in rainy or snowy weather but if it's windy (welcome to "blowing" rock), you're going to be cold and wet. There is also a small food court in the center. Handicapped access throughout with ramps adjacent to stairs plus dedicated handicapped parking. An EV charging station is located to the left and around the corner. [Review 15912 overall - 3127 in North Carolina - 1417 of 2021.]

It's a European carry all damn it! There are only two food places on the site, not that I planned on eating here. They do have one shoe store (Rack Room) and several clothing stores. Still missing the typical anchors. Worth a stop even if it has limited stores. We scored some good deals at the places we went to.

It's a nice area once you get past the tons of teens in loud obnoxious vehicles driving like they own the place. Please be vigilant of surroundings when walking across the street because of them. I recommend just about every business there The best ones being Marshall's - except the line is vert long sometimes Bass pro shop Bath and body works Mercantile 423 And crave cookie Also the movie theatre is very nice The worst ones i would not recommend going into would be Palmetto moon - due to racism, ableism, and complete disregard of human life that the store manager has with everyone that goes there Chipotle is okay, the employees have usually been pretty rude and the food usually makes me sick at this location Boot barn has some pretty rude staff as well The moes here is mid at best, the staff could care less about being there, but i wouldn't either if my boss pocketed all cash tips for herself, the chicken is never cooked all the way and they're always pretty dismissive. Not completely awful but I'd go to the barberitos down the street before here.

Good mall. Has everything you need, nothing extra. Took a while for me to adjust to coming from…read moreCharleston, SC, and frequently visiting other malls, like South Park in Charlotte and Lenox Square Mall in ATL, but overall, I mean, if you need something.... this place is good. There's an Old Navy, TJ Maxx (which, by the way, is NOT at the front of the store as the sign would mislead you to believe), Homegoods (i.e., Marshall's without the clothes), Belk, a Merle Norman outlet, Bath & Body Works, the Gamefather (a video game store), and some clothing stores. Also a standard pretzel/soda/cookie spot, too. A hair cuttery, a cafe, a nail salon... You definitely couldn't make a day out of shopping here, but could spend an hour or two or so. It's clean, and the restrooms are nice, too. I will save comments about individual stores for their own personal Yelp reviews. Overall, I wouldn't suggest this as a spot for out-of-town folks, unless you just want to be amazed simply the size of by a small town mall (aka, it's cute). This is more of a spot for locals who just need (want) to grab something they're specifically looking for. This place is A-OK, and that's okay with me! :)

The men's has about zero dress clothes or jeans or even button down shirts. Mostly underwear, gym clothes, shorts and t-shirts. On the bright side, they have a bench while you're waiting. Ladies will be shopping longer than you...guaranteed.
