I walked into Mast General Store expecting a typical shopping experience... but was immediately…read morestruck by the sheer variety of offerings. The store is a treasure trove, offering high-end camping gear alongside a nostalgic selection of candy sold by weight. This wide angle creates a unique shopping experience that caters to a depth of audience. The aisles are stocked with university-branded apparel and an eclectic mix of knick-knacks and toys, blending modern and vintage elements seamlessly. Navigating through the store I found myself drawn to the carefully curated sections featuring well-known brands like L.L. Bean and Patagonia, each showcasing top-tier camping gear. The store's commitment to quality is evident in every product, promising durability and reliability for outdoor enthusiasts. The candy aisle is what is the most impressive to me having all of the old-school candy and the ability to buy what you want per the weight or even a separate bag for gifts later on to family member members makes this experience truly wonderful. Overall, Mast General Store offers a distinctive blend of functionality and fun, making it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking unique finds or quality outdoor equipment. I'll definitely be returning to explore more of what this gem has to offer. RATINGS & LOGISTICS: - Atmosphere: 10/10 - Exhibit Quality: 8/10 - Service/Flow: 8/10 - Value: 9/10 - Would Return: Yes. Will be back for sure.

What a fun store! I love that they are pet friendly! It was nice to be able to visit a new area and…read morebe able to take my pup in with me. Mast General store is larger than meets the eye. There is an entire downstairs that offers clothing brands like Columbia, Vuori, and more! There is some camping gear and camping shoes. It was an unexpected surprise to find that section. Above, there is a selection of clothes, candies, gifts, and other goods to look at. It is fun to walk the store and see everything they had to offer. I was looking for a Christmas ornament. They did have some, but they were generic. I wanted something more specific to the area. There is a parking garage nearby. The area is super busy and you may have to walk a ways to get to the store. Stay pet friendly, this is a lovely perk to visiting!

It is a small veteran owned business that has been serving the 11 million annual visitors to the Great Smoky Mountains for the past twenty years. My friend's hiking boots literally fell apart on the mountain so we stopped in to check out what kind of hiking boots they had. Prices seemed reasonable and they had a good selection. A salesperson spent some time talking to my friend and showing her the differences between the boots. In addition to hiking boots they carry anything a day hiker could need or want. They had a large selection of T-shirts, hiking gear including hats, ponchos which I really wish we had brought earlier when we got hit by a sudden rain storm, bug spray, sunblock, water bottles, backpacks, walking sticks, and anything else you could possibly want. If you forgot it, they got it! The Day Hiker is conveniently located a half mile from the entrance of Great Smoky Mountains National Park where some of the best hiking trails in the country await you.
