I expected kitschy ware for tourists but found a real mercantile establishment with a sense of humor and great value. Make sure you visit if you're in town. More

Boone, NC is a typical mountain town. It is also a University town. Mast General Store is one of the main attractions. You can find everything from great old fashioned candy to sportswear and hiking shoes. This is a general store like in the olden days. Kids and Adults will love this place. More

There is just something neat about the Mast General Stores that makes you want to stop! The nostalgia, I suppose, but I love this place. Prices are reasonable on many things, IF they are on sale....lol. You just gotta go, even if you don't buy! More

It was mine and my husband's first visit to any Mast Gen. Store. I liked it fine as far as looking at things, felt it was a bit pricey. We ended up leaving without buying anything, but had planned to buy candy, but at 5.99 for a pound, it seemed a bit steep. Esp. when most of it can be... More
