The store offers a small throw back to simpler times, selling anything and everything one would need for their household under one roof. They even had a slogan early on of "if you can't buy it here, you don't need it". The store offers homewares (glassware, plates, pots, pans and cast iron), decor, snack items, jelly's/jams, milled products, soaps, gifts, clothing, camping gear, and even barrels upon barrels of candy by the pound. With 2 floors fully stocked of product, it offers a glimpse of how things were in olden times. Pricing on many items is very fare, from what I saw and was able to compare. Staff were all very friendly, checking in as we shopped to see if there is anything we could be helped with. It's a fun store to poke through, with lots of nostalgia

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.

The coat was just $16, and if you do a little dance at check out they give you 10% off. Say less, I did my little dance and walked out of there with a purchase under $15 that I've already worn 3 times! They have a good variety of nice outfits, casual ware, accessories and shoes as well.

I decided to stop in, having visited the old Mountaineer Mania several times previously, and was shocked to find an entirely new store inside. The premise of the store is the same, a wide selection of AppState apparel and gifts. But I was impressed to see really nice selections of Nike and Columbia branded apparel at very reasonable prices. I had only planned to purchase a polo but ended up walking out with some other things as well.

Since my groomsmen were coming from 3 states and 2 countries, it was easier to buy them here and just give them as groomsmen gifts. Banana Republic mailed the suits to each of them. That way we could make sure everything fit perfectly well before the wedding. The cost for mailing was fairly minimal. I believe around $5/suit. Because they have suit separates, we could get the guys suits that fit off the rack because they didn't have to be taken in many inches the waist. They never look right when you have to take them in 4-5" or moremore. In addition, the guys were able to exchange them at the Banana Republics where they lived if they didn't fit perfectly. The staff was really patient with us and helped get the suit separates in all the guys' sizes, organize it all, and get it mailed with the gift receipts. I know it was frustrating getting it all together correctly, but they were extremely helpful and liked the idea. Don't think they'd ever had anyone do that before but we're excited to help us get everything together for a military wedding.

Now, it is grunge employee attire. Only one register open for the whole store. One has to wade through tons of cheap clothing that are not organized on racks. Racks are sitting out in the walkways unattended. The store looks like walking into a teenagers room - and not in a good way. I suppose the world has decided to set the bar low. No more beauty. No more excellence. Just thrown together decline. If only Boone Belk would try again.... one can hope, I suppose.

The prices are always quite reasonable for mass produced clothing, and they are located at Boone Mall where parking is easy and right up front, and free. PROS: clean, friendly staff. Easy parking and access in the middle of town. CONS: kind of empty in here. I felt like it was a bit too quiet. BOTTOM LINE: standard place, check it out if you need some nice looks for less
