I was here for the Discount Tire and while I waited, I popped over to Great Clips for a trip. There is a small covered bus shelter here as well. The shopping center is in good condition. They have plenty of land to work with and they've done a good job with low landscaping and wide parking aisles. This shopping center needs a coffee shop - there is a fast casual restaurant in a separate building and a McDonald's in the Walmart. [Review 12686 overall, 2478 of 2019.]

This Earth Fare (one of 2 locations in Asheville) is always super crowded, very chaotic & doesn't seem clean compared to the other Earth Fare South Asheville in case you like Earth Fare's in general.

I love a general store, and Mast General Store is a good one. They've amassed so many goods -- and…read moreit's on two levels. 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.

I sat at the bar, and the staff was incredibly welcoming and wonderful. They had fantastic live music from a local acoustic guitar player whose selection was absolutely perfect for relaxing with a drink. They feature a full bar, an extensive beer selection, and a few frozen cocktails. They even had a special margarita menu during my visit! I highly recommend checking out their frozen drinks, the pickle martini (or the shot version), and the French 75.
