This is a fun shop at The Stockyards. They stock an abundance of items from clothes to hats, belts to stuffed animals, boots to magnets and so on. The prices are good. The shelves are fully stocked and that place was super busy. The staff was very nice as well. read more

I had a very similar experience to what others have described here. The older woman at the register was extremely rude and even asked a colleague to "keep an eye on us," which made my friend and me very uncomfortable. I'm not someone who plays the victim or jumps to conclusions, but it was clear we weren't being treated with the same respect as other customers. We came in ready to spend money and support the store, but after her nasty attitude, we decided to leave without buying anything. Honestly, I don't know if this woman is unhappy with her life and just straight up bitter with who she is, but that's no excuse to take it out on customers. If she doesn't know how to interact with people respectfully, she shouldn't be working in a customer-facing job! It's disappointing to see that this kind of behavior is still happening. Hopefully, the owner takes notice--no one deserves to be treated that way just for shopping. read more

We stopped in & found so many pairs of funny socks. Cute stuff inside but it is mostly touristy stuff.

Yelp 100 Challenge 2023 #80 The General Store is located across the street from the Fort Worth Stockyards and provides an array of items from drinks, snacks, jewelry, to shirts. The staff was very friendly and it offered a cool place to shop while escaping the Texas heat. read more

My son and I purchased 2 cap guns and caps on Monday. When we checked out the girl asked "do you want your receipt" and I said "no, it's ok." Then I realize my son grabbed the wrong size caps after we were walked back to our hotel. We walk back over and I ask the manager if I can exchange the caps for the right size and he says yes. My son grabs the correct size caps, and then the manager tells me I cannot exchange them without the receipt. I am clearly holding the General Store bag (with over $100 of merchandise I bought) and the cashier is the same girl that rang me up. The manager refused to exchange the caps so I purchased more. I will not be returning to this store. What horrible customer service and clearly they do not value their customers! read more

Exactly what you would expect as a tourist. Great selection of Cowboy and Cowgirl-themed Ft Worth logoed stuff. Yes, my 13-year-old granddaughter was exercising her retail therapy with my wallet and the prices are steep. But what ya gonna do ?, its fun! Stop in... *Unfortunately my app is still preventing me from posting photos other than the check in photo at 99 percent of the places I visit. Sorry read more

Living in CA, so thankful that they take orders over the phone & ship to us! They don't hurry to get you off the phone & answer all of your questions. Thank you, Josh!!! read more

Cute location and lots of variety. The staff helped me find the perfect longhorn plush!

Would give this place 5 stars but customer service here was pretty bad. The first thing we heard as we walked in was "we are closing in 7 minutes!" I've worked in retail in the past and never were able to turn down customers as they came in. So we still decide to walk in and buy some stuff. I'm visiting from the PNW. I love stores like this. We felt super pressured to hurry up. Many people that would come in would just turn around and not go in the store after hearing how long they had. There is a lot to see here. Lots of cool stuff. It's a shame that we didn't get to look at most of it. Upon paying the cashier was rude and didn't even smile or make eye contact. I get it...it's the end of your shift and you probably want to go home. Not a good reason to be rude. We will be coming back next time we come to Texas and hoping for a better experience. read more

Overall it was a cute place and I was able to get some souvenirs for my littles back home but they empowerment very nice. The first time we tried to come the man literally closed the door in my face because they closed in seven minutes and wouldn't let us in, then we came back and they weren't much nicer when the store was open. read more

I'm not the type to play the race card or victim card, but to be completely honest.. if you're not white, don't expect to be treated respectfully at this establishment. My family was visiting me since they hadn't seen me for 6 years since I enlisted in the Navy. I'm stationed nearby and wanted to treat my family to a nice outing. We came in to this store because my mom wanted to get souvenirs for my family back home. My mom was looking at all of the graphic tshirts and was unfolding some of them so she could get a better look at the whole tshirt. One old woman with white hair snapped at my mom for unfolding the tshirts. She was very rude and disrespectful towards us. This same old woman and a younger more heavyset female employee kept whispering to each other and following me, my husband, my 11 year old brother and my 66 year old uncle around the store, most likely keeping an eye on us to make sure we didn't steal. I knew this kind of stuff happened but It's heartbreaking to actually experience it, especially on a nice family outing day. Those 2 employees really disappointed me. The store was lovely and the prices were a bit high but mom spent over $100 here on t-shirts and other souvenirs. I shouldn't have let her. There are so many other reviews stating similar experiences. Why is this still happening? Why are customers still being treated so horribly here?? read more

I bought a very cute necklace the last time I was here and thought I might come by and purchase another. I got some very NASTY looks from the old women that were working as soon as I walked in. I walked out immediately. read more

Rude cashier! STAY AWAY. This was our first time at the stockyards and we were having a great time until this unpleasant experience. This was around 6:00 yesterday, the rude employee was an older lady training a younger girl (she smiled and was pleasant, no issues with her!) My brother was checking out and meanwhile I was looking at some items on the checkout counter and was confused on price tags since they had 2 different tags. I kindly asked to clarify, and the cashier rudely grabbed the items from my hand and said they were misplaced and continued to place them back. I usually let things like this slide, since you never know what kind of day someone is having. Unfortunately we couldn't give her that grace since we both noticed from the start that her demeanor with us was very different with us than with the lady she helped before us. She did not greet us once it was our turn and proceeded to complain about other employees not doing this and that around the store with the younger girl. Wish we would've not spend out money here! We will not be going back and will make sure to take advantage of the wide variety of other stores that make their patrons welcome! read more

We had a great experience there thanks to Josh, great costumer service! We had a fun time love my hat:)

Nice selection of items that fit the region, some really nice hats (western and baseball-style)... I always stop here at least once! read more

Mixed bag of t-shirts, novelty items, and during the holidays, they have funky Texas style tree decorations! Not a bad place to pick up that bring home gift for the office, or something to remember your trip by item. Prices were decent and the staff were helpful with packaging. I loved just browsing through all the sections, from Texas brag books, to the serious cooks' items. A must stop in place for those visiting the Stockyards! read more

I have some friends moving to the area and was looking for a "Welcome to Texas" kind of gift. This place was perfect for that - it's definitely touristy but out of the gift shops in the stockyards area I think it has the best selection! read more

Everything you didn't know that you needed is here. Too many items to mention but I was blown away by the variety of products and I swear there is something for everyone in the family. From cute to curious this general store is a fun place to shop. Trust me, your eyes will hurt after you leave. read more

A reasonably priced tourist stop with all the goodies you'll want to take home from the Stockyards. Longhorn stuffed animals, Texas Ranger "official" name badges, cap guns, carved deer-head slingshots....all the fun. read more

Fun store with lots of Texas nic nacs. Very clean and easy to navigate around the store. Highly recommended for any tourists

***This is a pretty touristy shop, but it is a fun place to browse and a good size; they have a few interesting items and even a few funny things; as expected, the store is a little pricey; still, with the store's exterior design and the name, I wish the store had better stuff*** You can find parking on the street (I think even non-metered parking is available). read more

A little pricey but a better selection of souvenirs. I had stopped here to check out their selection and continued to check out the other stores, came back to purchase my souvenirs. Most of the staff was nice, the two guys working were pretty friendly and helpful. I had a couple of items on hand and a staff member offered to help me with it by putting it at the counter. The brunette working the cash register was not so nice, she never looked up nor greeted me when I was next to pay - not even a howdy or hello. If you need a good selection of Texas souvenirs - this is definitely the place for shot glasses, stuff animals, kitchen items, sauces, t-shirts and more. read more

We came to Fort Worth for the Beer, Bourbon and Brisket festival and our friend from Denmark was with us. We went to the stockyards before the festival to show our friend "Cowtown". I had my little yorkie in my purse because pets were welcome at the festival. Every store we went to welcomed my little dog, but this store was SUPER rude. They sell jars of jelly and salsa so this guy cornered me in the back of the store and said because they serve "food" we had to leave. We were planning on buying things to send back to Denmark, but we were kicked out. One lady even asked me if I had papers proving my yorkie was a service dog...come on! For one it's illegal to ask for papers and who has a service yorkie in a purse? Moron. Maybe we are just use to being in Dallas where pets are welcome and people are friendly. There are plenty of other stores to shop at in the stockyards, so skip this one. read more

This is a fun store with great tourist items. The day we went, there was a vendor giving out brisket sliders to promote their bbq rub and sauce. It was delicious and we ended up buying some (Outlaw Chef brand). There are also some fun shirts and jewelry and decorations and things. I also bought a longhorn cookie cutter. read more

just a cute little shop down by the stockyards and billy bob's....pretty much for the tourist.....you can browse and look and pick up a trinket or two...grab a snack ----parking was easy and loved the brick street down there... read more

The General Store - Tittymamas in Texas....woot woot... - Shopping Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

I'm giving The General Store 2 stars only because I happened upon Maverick (across the street) first. Items here are kitschy and oh so touristy (locals must see this place like how I see shops in Chinatown). The quality here is not as nice as Maverick, but items are a little bit cheaper ($5-$10 less). There are a few more low-end souvenir items and not quite as many keepsake type things. I wouldn't mind purchasing trinkets here as a "throw-away" type souvenir for friends who I'm not as close with, but I would make purchases for closer friends/family/myself at Maverick. read more

This store has lots of touristy nick nacks. From redneck cups to interesting spice rubs to candles that smell foods. The candles smell so good you want to eat it. This is a store you want to just goto if you're bringing people out of town. read more

Lots of stuff and souvenirs to choose from. The layout of the store was really tricky and got crowded really fast. Sales attendants were pleasant. read more

Got a little bit of everything for souvenirs and gifts to take back home. Despite all the tourist comments - we enjoyed stockyards!

Nothing overwelming. Prices were ok. Tshirts all over. I did buy some hair bands that were cute. Oh and some over priced chocolate bars. One of them was good, the other was not. I was there a few times over a couple of days. Service was ok. read more

I ordered, via the Internet, 13 jars of Texas Ranger Salsa (the best salsa made) because the General Store's price was reasonable and they offered free shipping. The salsa arrived very quickly but, 2 of the jars had lost their vacuum seal on the lid. I phoned and they immediately offered to ship 2 replacement jars at their cost, including the shipping. The lady I spoke with on the phone was very pleasant and their customer service is unbelievable. read more
