My wife and I have had many wonderful shopping experiences in this little (but PACKED) store. We…read morelove just browsing, and we have plenty of fun even when we don't buy anything. Of course, when we do, it's even more fun! And I can't remember a single time when an item purchased there wasn't a standout. We both have clothes and accessories that we feel comfortable in and get compliments on. And over many years, it has proved to be the very best place to go for gifts that please. And we're still deciding which pieces of wall art we might find a spot for. I hope NMM lasts forever!!!

The employee wasn't even around as we were looking around the employee came out of nowhere and then we had went to checkout and the employee was talking to a person about buckeye tree . Then my 10 year old sister had went to look at this sleeping lavender essential oil and had opened one the smell and the lady at the store was staring at here almost like she was waiting to yell at her. But my sister had no idea there was also a sign saying that if the essential oils were opened that they had to be paid for so we had to put stuff away and pay for this $39.99 essential oil.

After a very pleasant stop at the distillery where I enjoyed tasting their golden elixirs, and the excellent conversation with their expert mixologist, Gabriel, hanging a left down the steep distillery hill and traveling South on 221 the general store quickly came into site. I figured I'd give it a quick look see, straight in and out, but what I found inside kept me there for about 2 1/2 hours. Local area folk get together and play some of the finest blue grass music your ears are treated to hear. Seats are lined up in front of the store stage and there is food that you can purchase in another area of the store, See down and enjoy your food while listening to some great pickin and plucking with dobro, fiddle, harmonica, and bass all in the mix. This a real friendly place and you feel like your listening to just some of your old friends playing good music on a Sunday afternoon.

We stopped in here as it was on our way back from Mount Airy, NC to the cabin we were staying in nearby. I looked around, but there was nothing really to my liking. Not my kinds of arts and crafts. Plus I thought it was kind of over-priced for the location. The lady working there was nice and engaged us in conversation as we looked around the store.

Walking into Chic's is a pleasure- absolutely no pretensions and they let you do your thing instead…read moreof dote on you like you're suspect. Also, Chic's now takes credit & debit cards!!!!!!! This is a big shop with a wide variety of wares from many sellers- everything from antiques and grantiques to booths with local crafts you'll actually find appealing such as high quality tie dye, professionally made furniture, and sensitively refurbished pieces. Nice selection of vintage clothing and there are often interesting tools, especially upstairs. Some people complain it's dark, and it is, but the switches are obvious and regulars know to operate them. We don't mind because it saves energy- a truly Floyd mindset. If you play piano, sit down at the one just inside the door like the locals do. You'll soon make a friend of two!

I swung by a place next door for lunch. They were crazy busy though and I saw on Yelp that this…read moreplace did sandwiches so I decided to give them a try. It was barely controlled chaos in the store to say the least. It was a Saturday when I swung through, so all of the tourists from the Blue Ridge Parkway were stopping by for their tourist shopping fix. So I don't blame the chaos on the store so much as the tourists acting all rude and entitled, shoving their way around the store. I digress. The deli sandwich I had was very good, and made promptly. I also had a homemade brownie which had the perfect amount of sweetness and walnut ratio to it. I wanted to try the Possum Pie but just get the nerve up to ask what was in it. I mean it couldn't have been real possum could it? They do have limited outside tables. I was lucky enough to snag one but you may want to pick your food up here and then plan for a nice picnic on one of the parkways scenic pullouts.
