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

I had noticed a while back that the store was undergoing some renovations and happened to notice…read moresome nice Nike polos in the window the other day. I decided to stop in, having visited the old Mountaineer Mania several times previously, and was shocked to find an entirely new store inside. The premise of the store is the same, a wide selection of AppState apparel and gifts. But I was impressed to see really nice selections of Nike and Columbia branded apparel at very reasonable prices. I had only planned to purchase a polo but ended up walking out with some other things as well. The sales associate working that day was friendly App student who was able to quickly answer my questions. Overall, a great update to a King St. staple!

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.

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.

The coat was just $16, and if you do a little dance at check out they give you 10% off. Say less, I did my little dance and walked out of there with a purchase under $15 that I've already worn 3 times! They have a good variety of nice outfits, casual ware, accessories and shoes as well.

We were ready to quit skiing forever…read more Our first attempt (at Sugar Mountain Resort) was chaotic, overcrowded, and discouraging. As beginners, we felt lost and unsupported, and by the end of that day we were convinced skiing simply wasn't for us. Then we tried Appalachian Ski Mountain -- and everything changed. From the moment we arrived, it was clear this place understands beginners. The booking process was smooth and available online. The staff were organized and welcoming. Although we had only booked one instructor online, they arranged two more so each of us could have a proper private lesson. Scott, Amelia, and Dean were phenomenal. They were calm, encouraging, and methodical. They explained the true basics - balance, stance, safe falling, snowplough (pizza) stopping, and controlled turns - step by step. They made sure we understood before moving on. In just one hour, we were skiing green runs with control and confidence. More importantly, we were smiling. Appalachian Ski Mountain didn't just teach us technique - they changed our entire perception of skiing. If you're a beginner, save yourself frustration and start here. It can make all the difference between giving up and falling in love with the sport.

A good place for snowboarding. Three parks to choose from. Reasonable lift prices.

I'm from Chicago area and this boutique easily reminds me of a boutique you would find here. The clothes are very cute and they always have a sharp variety of shoes. If you are looking for a summer dress then this is the place to go! If you love scarves, candles and jewelry, you are going to be in heaven here. Tip: If you see something, do not wait to get it. Get whatever it is you want while your there because the next day it may not be there. I have done that one time and I will never do it again. She has a popular store, therefore items are not going to sit long. =)) I always have a great experience here and highly recommend!
