Jefferson Street and Church Avenue this store provides friendly service, and a great selection of quality products at fair prices, and often offer sales to make it easier for customers to obtain their desired item at an affordable price. There is something for everyone at the Mast General Store: a great selection of preserves, butters, jams, jellies, clothing, footwear, outdoor gear, candies, old-time favorites, and the latest styles and products of over 600 brands. Here one can find some unique and hard-to-find gifts. Just view my photographs accompanying this review and you can get a better sense of everything one can find here. I highly recommend this large department store for a nostalgic shopping experience. One you'll never forget, and would want to come back for more.

Entering the store was like discovering a whole new world filled with a curated selection of unique furniture, home decor, gifts, and local art, emphasizing quality, sustainable design, and truly unique pieces with lasting style. After having been selected as number 4 of Yelp's Top 50 most prolific Elites of 2025, a year when I also was awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Photographer of the Year Award at their Yelpies 2025 Award Ceremony, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, and where last year I was awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Yelper of the Year Award, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and businesses, and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And Present Thyme, in Roanoke, Virginia, is a perfect example. Located in the Towers Shopping Center, in Southwest Roanoke, Present Thyme has been a community staple for over 45 years, yet it was only today that I became aware of its existence. Inside, I found an extensive variety of unique, one-of-a-kind items, from antique furniture in excellent condition, to quality gifts and luxury bedding, to amazing treasures from local artisans. The store philosophy is to focus on high-quality, high-end, timeless pieces that become part of a home's story, with a commitment to local artisans and sustainable design. There, one can find high-end, unique furniture, including antique pieces, elegant home decor items, including vintage European crystal chandeliers, Venetian glass mirrors, handblown glass bowls, and collectibles serving trays, among other things such as clothing that blend clasic style with modern flair, bedding, gifts and children's items. And what fascinated me the most was the local art and artworks, including pieces from local artists such as Greg Osterhaus, which I found the most extensive paintings from him anywhere around, including his famous cow portraits and local landscapes. The owner of this store, Dorian Clowers, does an extraordinary job in bringing together products from artisans in Roanoke and the surrounding region. If you think the products of this store are amazing, its staff are the most friendly and helpful store employees that I have ever encountered. They helped me find more information and price of one of Greg Osterhaus paintings that I showed interest in. The time in there went by so fast that before I knew it, it was already closing time. I highly recommend this high-end home decor store for those times when you're looking for a very unique gift for someone special in your life, or just to bring into your home as a stand out piece.

There is a wide variety of home furnishings and unique pieces. Bonus points for the coasters with fun sayings.

There was an employee that was staring at his phone outside the entrance and when we walked into the store, he slowly walked in behind us, still staring at his phone. We looked around a little, noticeably confused, and after a few minutes, he looks up from his phone and asks what we're looking for. We told him and he just points over to the front corner, never offering to do a size check or ask any more details. He went right back to staring at his phone after answering. That video was deceiving unfortunately. Save your gas and go to men's wearhouse.

Whenever he spoke to us, his voice was sharp, almost commanding and he seemed to be rushing us, whereas I observed him speaking very mildly to a White male customer. After I purchased a vest for my grandson, I observed the man inspecting the dressing room that my grandson used to try on vests before he went to inspect the vest area, as though he suspected us of some kind of wrong doing. I will never spend my money there again. Suit City has definitely lost a customer.

For starters they were watching me like a hawk when I was trying dresses on. Once I was done, I decided to be helpful and put the clothes back. After I did that, one of the workers asked me where I put the clothes. I told her I put them back, and then she proceeded to check all the pieces that I tried on. Then as I was leaving, they called me back in asking where I put the one dress because they could not find it. I walked right in and found it in 30 seconds and I felt like I knew the store better than the employee. I understand that they have a job to do and have to make sure people do not steal but I felt judged the moment I walked in. I felt like I was accused of stealing and if they are so worried about people stealing then put sensors on their clothes. The only reason I gave it 3 stars instead of 1 star is because they had cute clothes.

The entire time the owner watched us like a hawk and when I went to try on a top she started to call me and my friends poor within earshot. I have never felt so disrespected. We said something to them and they looked completely unbothered about being rude.

We learned about the store from the visitors center and it was definitely a good suggestion. The owner is a former flight attendant and she has jewelry, purses, scarfs, clothes and a number of other things from all over the world. On top of that she does an amazing job providing money back to the local community. There is one section of the store that is filled with star jewelry. Part of the sale of this jewelry goes the local community to help local homeless youth and their families get affordable housing. The owner is truly passionate about the cause and helping the community where she works and lives. This connection just makes you feel even better about buying from this store. The jewelry is super cute too! If you are in the area this is a must stop!!!

That excitement was cut short due to the mixed matched and small selection; however, I could have picked out a few pieces, that is if someone would have acknowledged I was actually in the store and shown me a few things. Maybe it was because I was not a regular - they seem to be catering to some. Typical small town mentality.
