I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Mast General Store in Asheville, and I was thoroughly impressed. From the moment I walked in, I was transported back in time, surrounded by a warm and inviting atmosphere and the nostalgic charm of a classic general store.
One of the things I loved most about the Mast General Store was the wide selection of goods they had on offer. From clothing and footwear, to camping gear and home goods, there was something for everyone. The store also has a fantastic selection of local and regional products, so I was able to bring a piece of Asheville home with me.
The staff at the Mast General Store were also a highlight of my visit. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help. Whether I was looking for recommendations on local attractions or trying to find the perfect souvenir, they were more than happy to assist me.
I was also impressed with the attention to detail in the store's design and layout. The store was filled with antique and vintage items, from the old-fashioned cash registers to the carefully curated displays. The result was a truly unique shopping experience that felt both nostalgic and modern at the same time.
Overall, my visit to the Mast General Store in Asheville was a fantastic experience. From the wide selection of products and friendly staff, to the charming atmosphere and attention to detail, I would highly recommend this store to anyone visiting the area.

Read moreThis is a great place - very similar to the Greenville MGS. Greenville benefits: store is a little bigger. I think a better selection of candy. Its also located closer to what I think is the best part of town (within a block of Washington st.). It is also close to a toy store (OP Taylors) so you can take little kids on a candy / toy excursion easily. There are THREE entrances! AVL MGS benefits are: it seems to be a better draws to street artists so you get the entertainment factor. I like that there are two distinct levels - unique staircase separates them. They have a better selection of frisbee golf discs. I think they have a better selection of cold weather gear given it is in the mountains. I wish AVL MGS had more of a college gear section. GVL has Clemson and USC stuff (hats, socks and such). They BOTH have a great candy and drink section. BOTH have great t shirts and camping equipment. BOTH are right next to Barleys. A pizza and beer at Barleys followed by a trip to MGS is a classic. Of course AVL is closer to many more breweries. That is one thing AVL has over GVL - the abundance of downtown breweries. My favorite buy from MGS is a topographic map of the upstate of south carolina. There is also one of western NC. Overall a great store and...
Read moreSoo thankful there are good honest people left in this world. Friday my daughter went to Asheville with a friend for the day. When she got home she realized she didn't have her wallet. It had been misplaced along the way. Everything important for her identity, access to bank accounts etc was in there, shot record, cash you name it, it was there. So this mama was in a total panic thinking that we were in for a fiasco in the days/weeks/years ahead for her.
This afternoon I got a call from Mast General Store in Asheville. Someone found her wallet and management happened to find my name in there and was able to find my number. (Side note, I Guess it really pays to have your name and business contact info blasted out on the web).
Anyway, I immediately made a quick trip up to A'ville to pick it up. Every card, dollar and detail was the same as it was when she last had it. 🙌🏼
My heartfelt thanks goes out to Carmen at Mast General Store for locking it away safely until I could get there to pick it up. Good people DO exist in this crazy world...
We were truly blessed by their honesty. If you are ever in Asheville, stop by their store. It's a great place and we owe them a debt that can never...
