In Blowing Rock, NC this is the place for outdoor and hiking gear and shoes. Those Keens caught my…read moreeye as my wife and I went inside. A minute or two for a separate staff person to come help us, as another staffer was there in the shoe area. A couple of try ons (as my shoe size in Keens can be 11 or 11 1/2) and I was ready to go; however, my wife who initially did not look the look of the bubble toe on the Keens (for women or men) was finally talked into trying a pair of Keens on and walking around in the shop. Comfort for her, and thus a pair of Keens for her and, of course, one for me. My last Keens were bought here about 6 years ago, are still quite comfortable and not showing wear, but sometimes you just have to spend a dollar or two and get more comfort, right? Yep.

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 can not express how thankful we are to MOs boots. Our nephew got a hat from this store while…read moreworking on Habitats for humanity a few years ago. It ended up being his favorite hat and unfortunately while jet skiing he lost it. About a year later my husband and I made a special stop from NJ on our way to Georgia and stayed over in Boone to search for this specific hat. After a few stores we stopped at MO's. Lo and behold they had that hat but not in the right color so we bought 2 of the same hats in other colors. They said they would take our name and number and if the color we needed ever came back in stock they would reach out. Ten months later I was shocked when I heard the voicemail! The hat just arrived at our home in NJ and I am so excited to be able to give it to him for his graduation. What exceptional customer service and going the extra mile for your customers! I highly recommend this store for their products and for their friendly customer service!!! Thank you thank you thank you!! The Mulligans from New Jersey!

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.
