We have been to several Mast General Stores in various locations and knew the original store was…read morelocated on our weekend travels. We like Mast and always enjoy the products and atmosphere. We drove on our road trip to Johnson City, Tennessee from our home near Winston-Salem. It was getting late so we noted the location and decided to stop on our return trip home when we anticipated we would have more time. We arrived in the early afternoon of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend and after following the line of cars to the back parking lot, we were amazed to see how many people were there! The small front parking area was full and the much larger rear parking lot was almost full. We did not think it was possible that everyone was visiting the general store, partly because it looks much smaller from the outside. As we walked toward the rear porch entrance, there was a Boy Scout Troop making kettle corn with a large kettle, butter, sugar, salt and corn and stirring it with a big paddle. It smelled delicious and we knew we needed to buy some on our way back to the car. After entering the building, we could see the entire parking lot contained all those people inside the general store, it was very busy but it appeared they had an adequate amount of employees. Mast features outdoor gear, home decor, knives, shoes, clothing, gift related items and food. They also have a large barrel candy area. We picked up a few things we felt we could not live without. On our way out, we purchased a bag of the kettle corn from the Boy Scouts and enjoyed munching on it while also supporting a good cause. It was so delicious with the combination of butter and sugar. A definite treat that we hadn't eaten in a long time. The original store is a must stop if you are driving through the area. We also recommend stopping at any of their other locations as well. They have many items you may not find elsewhere.

When in this area, you "just gotta" stop here and wander through. My wife ended up with $24.99 Teva…read moreflip flops, well made, supportive, and cushioned with the toe/foot strap a geometric pattern, so yes we bought them. Away from that small shoe building, half each for men and women, we went to the main building a seemingly turn of the century wooden floored building where there is a candy section and, yes, I bought some old time candy, which was $5.99 a pound as I recall. Lots of old time kitchen utensils, ceramic cookware, kid's toys, hunting and outdoor wear. Then to the main hiking and hiking shoes for men where they had some which were 25% off. Jim, a clerk, came up as I was looking around and politely asked if he could help me find something in the Keen shoes I was poking through. Told that I was looking for an 11 1/2 size, but there were no half sizes. As sometimes shoes can run a bit large he asked if I wanted to try on an 11 and he would go look for an 11 1/2 if the 11 would not fit. I had just determined that the 11 wasn't for me, and Jim came back. Now you know how I came to purchase my Keen Targee IV WP MEN, size 11.5 at 25% off. Checking us out was another friendly, chatty and efficient employee (as all of their folks are) named Rhonda. Like I said, you "just gotta" visit, and maybe spend a few bucks. We did!

I generally hate going in these stores but this one was actually pretty interesting and I would come back just to browse. Prices are good and they have everything from clothing, new and used clubs, accessories, and all the "stuff" that goes with golfing. Also some pretty good peanuts!

Super friendly and huge selection! Lots of golf clubs and ladies golf clothing. Great place to stop!read more

I LOVE DAINTY DARLING BOUTIQUE…read more I went when the summer season wear was still up, now completely changed to autumn attire. Clothing, accessories, shoes, face masks, and many other fun items are available. Of course the pricing is more than a typical retail store, but that can be expected of any boutique. There is a powder room and a fitting room available. The back room is entirely plus size fashion. No men's clothes, no children's clothes. Very cute options, on trend for the season. Lovely ladies that work here and nice music in the background.
