I have been a Belk cardholder since the 1990's and after visiting the Belk store in Boone, NC where…read morea salesperson in Ladies Customer Service was so rude that upon returning home I promptly called the credit card company paid my bill and cancelled my card.

Oh, Boone Belk. You have declined so much. It's so sad to see. Workers used to dress like…read moreprofessionals and were ready to assist. Checkout was readily available. 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.

This is a smaller outlet mall but that doesn't mean that you can't still get your retail therapy…read morehere. 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.]

I have been to several Tanger Outlets and this one is the smallest I have seen. No Levi, Nike,…read moreCoach or Bose outlet stores here. Yeah, I did say Coach and no I don't carry a purse. 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 packaging of the parts and assembly instruction was THE BEST I've ever encountered anywhere and for anything! Kudos! Most imported items requiring assembly end up creating nothing but frustration and anger. This item was absolutely a pleasure to assemble, and only required a very reasonable amount of effort and time. I may buy one for me too!

Good mall. Has everything you need, nothing extra. Took a while for me to adjust to coming from…read moreCharleston, SC, and frequently visiting other malls, like South Park in Charlotte and Lenox Square Mall in ATL, but overall, I mean, if you need something.... this place is good. There's an Old Navy, TJ Maxx (which, by the way, is NOT at the front of the store as the sign would mislead you to believe), Homegoods (i.e., Marshall's without the clothes), Belk, a Merle Norman outlet, Bath & Body Works, the Gamefather (a video game store), and some clothing stores. Also a standard pretzel/soda/cookie spot, too. A hair cuttery, a cafe, a nail salon... You definitely couldn't make a day out of shopping here, but could spend an hour or two or so. It's clean, and the restrooms are nice, too. I will save comments about individual stores for their own personal Yelp reviews. Overall, I wouldn't suggest this as a spot for out-of-town folks, unless you just want to be amazed simply the size of by a small town mall (aka, it's cute). This is more of a spot for locals who just need (want) to grab something they're specifically looking for. This place is A-OK, and that's okay with me! :)

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

Pretty good location in Boone. I found a nice Calvin Klein scarf & some luxury soaps on clearance…read more There were some fun dog toys & treats that we enjoyed perusing for our dog. I was hoping to find women's gloves or a winter hat, but there weren't any on display. That is the only drawback of this shopping trip.

So this is maybe a 3 star for men's and about a 5 star for women's…read more They have a massive women's section...most of the store. Is easily 5x the men's section. Great selection. The men's has about zero dress clothes or jeans or even button down shirts. Mostly underwear, gym clothes, shorts and t-shirts. On the bright side, they have a bench while you're waiting. Ladies will be shopping longer than you...guaranteed.

This is a standard Old Navy as you might expect in any small town or city. We went here close to…read morethe closing time and the employees did not rush us out. Instead, one nice staff member asked me if she could help me find anything. I asked her when they were closing and she said that they had actually just closed, but I could still look around if I wanted to. 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

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.
