I absolutely love love love this boutique! The kindest women work there who are always so helpful…read more They carry my favorite brands like Free People and Seychelles (which are hard to find in Boone!) and have some of the best denim. I typically wear a size L/XL and size 31/32 and I can always find something every time I go in. I cannot say enough good things about this boutique - they feel like family! They put on cute events and seem to always have a sale going on! Hands down my favorite place to shop in Boone!

This Mast General Store was the 2nd of it's kind to open, apparently about 100 years after the…read morefirst...but still an OG. 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

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.

They definitely have some items that I have never seen at any other store which makes it a must to check out. I really like stores like this and that they exist. This store has a really cool vibe and atmosphere that is very laid back and makes you happy and smile from the moment you walk in. The staff was very helpful and did a good job. I was able to find some gift items that were perfect for some people on my list that are usually harder to shop for. If you are in the near vicinity of this store it would be wise to come in here. We had a really good experience shopping here and found some good deals.

This is a cool, quirky shop off the beaten path in Boone. We stumbled upon it, tucked back in the…read moremain row of shops, behind a thrift store. They have awesome items, such as Ramones onesies for your rock n roll baby, a wide variety of cat tank tops for your crazy cat lady, music, tobacco items, etc. The girl working at the desk was helpful and friendly. They had a ton of quirky stuff and were playing cool music too. Prices were reasonable. Would be easy to walk right by this place. If you blink you'll miss it. Keep your eyes open and stop by.

Great store with lots of high quality merchandise, very neatly fluffed and folded on display…read more Prices are pretty clearly marked and that's a good thing. I don't know if it met the "factory store" prices I was hoping for but it is cheaper than buying it at a mall department store. $89.50 for a polo shirt. Technically, it's a "Polo" shirt but when you take off the 25% or 40% for the current sale plus another 15% for subscribing to their text messages, it is actually not entirely unreasonable. Lots of different colors going on. Some Spring on the 40% off table and some Autumn/Winter rolled out. We didn't do too much damage to the credit card but I'm mostly pleased with what we took home today. [Review 15915 overall - 3130 in North Carolina - 1420 of 2021.]

This store is hands down the best Ralph Lauren store I've ever been to. They have the best prices…read moreI've ever seen, and even better if you get the 25% of coupons in your email or by text. Their prices are even less than T.J. Maxx or Marshalls but with an obviously better selection. The customer service is what sets this place apart from any other. They will search the system for your size for any item and will almost mail to your house for free if they don't have it at their location. I've not seen service like this from any other retailer. The quality of the clothes is also some of the best you'll find. I highly recommend their new moisture wicking, stretch button down shirts. Looks like a dress shirt but feels like an Under Armour t-shirt. They are the most comfortable dress and business casual shirts I've ever worn. They don't wrinkle and could be considered a traveler shirt as well. I'm hoping they start offering these in more detailed dress shirt sizing rather than just S, M, L, etc. Think they would be a hit. At the end of the day, the customer service is the best here, and the prices and selection (even if you have to work with their staff to find your sizes in some cases) are great reasons to add this store as a regular stop in Blowing Rock.

A woman came out and very hostilely told him not to take videos and images and rolled her eyes in anger. She did not even give us a chance to explain. We were in shock.

I do not recommend shopping in a store that would treat paying customers with such hostility.
