I wear a women's size 13 shoe and when I saw the cute shoes that this company had in my size I was…read moreexcited and purchased two of them. It took forever to get but when they finally got here the size marking on them was clearly a women's size 12. When I contacted customer service they refuse to give me a full refund unless I paid full shipping to return. This company is overseas and full shipping would cost me as much as the shoes cost! If it was just because I didn't like the shoes I can understand but they were Miss represented. They finally admitted that this is the largest size they had and yet they put down that it was a size 13 when it's clearly marked differently. They finally stopped responding to me and I am very disappointed. I would definitely not recommend this company. They don't stay behind their items. Even when it was completely their mistake and their issue they still will not own it and are trying to make me finance their error. Do not use this company!

We were on vacation in the area and it was raining; a perfect time to visit the Mast General Store!…read more We slowly walked through the entire store, picked out a handful of our favorite candies and a cold bottle of pop. We sat on the front sidewalk and watched the clouds roll by. I noticed a section of the wall at the front entrance that showed the water lines at different times in history (see picture). That is the kind of history that only an old building has seen. The people that work here are glorious! Very helpful! They made our visit that much more memorable. This is a must visit location for all ages when you are visiting the area! Most Sincerely, Dayla

The Original Mast General Store is located in Valle Crucis, NC. It was opened by Henry Taylor back…read morein 1883 as the Taylor General Store and has been operating ever since, so they are definitely doing something right! The landmark is on the National Register of Historic Places and is quite a popular place. While you won't be able to park right out front as they did in the past, there is plenty of parking located conveniently behind the store. W.W. Mast bought a half stake of the business in 1897, then bought the other half in 1913, changing the name to Mast General Store It was truly the Amazon of its day, offering everything you could possibly need with the motto, "goods for the living, coffins and caskets for the dead," which prompted the local phrase, "If you can't buy it here, you don't need it ." When the economy changed and the original store closed in 1977, it was thankfully saved and reopened in 1980 by preservationists John and Faye Cooper The front corner of the store features an active town post office The store spans two levels with beautifully creaking floorboards that instantly let you know you are in a nostalgic place filled with history. A lot of the original advertising posters from Mr. Mast are still mounted on the walls alongside the vintage counters and fixtures The original cast iron potbellied wood stove is still used to heat the store, the functional wooden trap doors in the floorboards still remain from where chickens historically were traded for store credit, and you can even get a cup of coffee for just 5 cents. You will find a massive variety of cast-iron cookware, old-fashioned candy in barrels, postcards, books, high-quality clothing, footwear, toys, and traditional mercantile goods. I even bought a delicious fried apple pie! The historic Little Red Schoolhouse sits right behind the main building and offers clearance merchandise, though I just enjoyed looking at the older architecture and reading about the school.

The store sits at a crossroads and it looks like it's been here quite a while. When we entered a few locals were at the check out counter passing the time, discussing the news and welfare of other locals, it seemed. They all turned in our direction and greeted us before continuing to chat with each other. The store carried some fresh produce, snacks, canned goods, spices, household items of various sorts, Case knives, boots, jeans, outdoor wear, including Carhartt and other popular outfitting brands. Oh, and lottery tickets and ice cream. The employees were very nice to us. There were numerous choices of Mayfair ice cream to choose from, and Roy and I each got a cup of ice cream. A scoop of black cherry and a scoop of butter pecan. They invited us to come back any time, and I think we will.
