Blue Ridge Mountain Mall — Local services in Blue Ridge

Fun showcase of the worst history and politics that unfortunately stain both the history and present day of these hills .

The owner tries to justify selling mammy dolls by the fact that they do "research" and that people who ARE black come in and buy them but that completely misses the point as its still people directly profiting off of dolls that represent a racial stereotype of people who at the time were severely oppressed and dehumanized regardless of how one wants to re-write or sanewash history to make themselves feel all nice and better about their heritage . Just because something works and makes money doesn't make it morally sound . "If you forget your past you are doomed to repeat it" works for historical museums not for stores where you are making money off of the tragedies that humans in our country experienced in the past .

I cant wait for the snarky response the owner gives everyone who dislikes them as if we are looking to change their or anyone else's backwards minds rather than ward off anyone who doesn't want to support this nonsense. Yes you can run your business however you please and if some people like it then good for you but well adjusted people will react with disgust and share that if you do disgusting things .

Edit: There it is and as quick as expected ! Calling me uneducated is honestly grand coming from y'all not to mention hilarious from the owner of generic tourist trap #13642 filled with cringe collectibles/merch and complete junk . keep being ignorant honey y'all are really making this area look great. I understand some things are hard to understand so you may just instantly claim someone is uneducated, but I quite frankly can only explain it to you not understand it for...

On vacation, not used to stores closing at 4 or even 5. Especially when the last store I went into didnt close until 9! When we walked in they smiled at us under their masks. Not once did they say oh I'm sorry we are closed they are our last customers. Instead they let us walk around the store, then one girl gets on her phone talking to someone. Saying people dont know how to read signs!!!! So I got my family and we walked about and to think I was about to grab a few things to buy but I said no I'm done with this place. It was 5:17 when we walked out of there and we weren't in there maybe 5 minutes. Might need to train the staff a little better. But in reality you cant train customer service. If the girl with long curly hair is any type of management, unfortunately she is leading by example. Others will...

Just had a horrible experience in this store. One of the employees, a woman, verbally assaulted our children who were playing with the toys in the store. Both my husband and I witnessed her raging right by us up the stairs stomping so hard, and basically pushed people out of the way, to get to not just my children but also our other families children, and proceeded to scream at the top of her lungs at them, scaring the two 7 year olds. No warning at all. If she would have simply asked our children to not play with the toys they would have listened. They are very well behaved children, who if an adult would have asked them politely not to touch anything, would have listened. Mind you the store is full of Jokester toys. This was the rudest experience we’ve ever...
