I recently purchased 2 pairs of hiking pants of different sizes knowing I would return the one that didn’t fit. When I went back into the store to return it a few weeks later, I had no issues at all. In fact, the same pants were still half off so I did an even exchange instead.

We visited the store while vacationing in North Carolina in July. Everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful and the products we purchased (belt, socks, headbands) were great quality. We liked it so much that we placed an order for more online and they shipped the same great product available in the store the next day! Their great service made a lifetime customer out of my family.

Always fun to go to the Mast when in Waynesville. Fun to pick up gifts to take back home or a souvenir. Great shoe section, and a variety of clothes, coats and outerwear. If you love candy thats the place to go, huge selection. Something for everyone.

Loved all the cool finds. I have been to the one In Knoxville and this one was just as cool. Introduced my husband to it and he enjoyed it as well. Love that they are pet friendly- so easy to walk in with our Boston Terrier!

So much variety if you need warmer clothes, heavy coats, a knife, shoes or boots, souvenirs, candy, a bag or backpack, I could go on and on. This place has it all! If youre in Waynesville check out the Mast General store, it will not disappoint.

This store has most anything you would want. The kids didnt want to leave. Help was sufficient and helpful as well as polite. Prices were in-line with other tourist stores. If they would have had moms size shoe, we would have spent more! I cant subtract a whole point for that so I give 4.5 Stars!

The store itself is pretty neat. Three stories of camping gear, clothing, and the bottom floor is mostly toys and candy.Our kids always enjoy stopping here. Things add up pretty quick, especially if you buy candy. Candy is priced by weight.The only reason I gave this store 4 stars instead of 5 is it is incredibly cramped. I can only last about 15 minutes before anxiety kicks in. It’s hard to move around without running into people or displays and such.

It is truly a nice store with lots of nice things. They have huge variety of different items and it is a pleasure to browse through them. We like going in when we are close as you never know what new thing youre going to find. The only bad thing is that it is expensive.

A fun store to browse around. Plenty of things to look at.However, prices do seem to be on the higher end though. I was expecting to hopefully see more local made items but that was far and few in between.

I have had the pleasure of shopping in the shoe department of this store. Brandon was EXCELLENT! I had to come back several times due to a problem in my feet and he was the most knowledgeable sales person I have met in other shoe stores. Actually, ALL the shoes sales people here were FAR above the two running shoe stores in Asheville! I went to them all! Thank you, Brandon, and the entire staff at MAST General Store for the excellent knowledge you had of your shoe product. I am still amazed!

Very great service! It was my first time visiting, Im from Florida and I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to go shop in a cute little store downtown. Also your employee Keaton was very friendly and a lot of fun! We played football with the hackey sack! PS I didnt break anything so no worries and he was doing his job the whole time.

This is an old time general store in Downtown Waynesville, North Carolina. They have a variety clothing and a huge candy 🍬department downstairs. There are barrels of old style candy 🍬that are sold by the pound. You just put a glove on and pick out your favorite flavors. Hint, I was there for the candy! Waynesville NC is a great little artsy town. Plenty of great food and stores to walk in. I highly Recommend making this a fun stop on your Western North Carolina Mountain Vacation!

I bought a pair of Chaco shoes from Mast. The employees were fantastic, very knowledgeable about the footwear, and extremely patient with me. I have a lot of problems with my feet, and I hate shoe shopping because of it. I appreciate their expertise and understanding. Shout out to Renee.

Great place to buy just about anything for the outdoors. Prices are not jacked up which surprised me for a small local store. They are very comparable to REI or online prices. Very nice clothing selection. Very happy to see some of the great brands such as Kuhl, Osprey, Columbia, Marmot, etc.

Very good store to get your hiking essentials that you forgot to pack and are sitting on your dining room table. Even though they are located in Gatlinberg NOC is not gimmicky at all. They sell the major players in hiking/backpacking gear.

Great place to browse, 3 floors of outdoors clothes, shoes, camping and hiking supplies. A little pricy for me in clothing section but thats just me. Dont let it stop you from visiting. Cool old fashioned toys, candy and knick nacks make it a must to visit. They are dog friendly.

Really neat old squeaky oak floor building with a lot of new things to look at. I go up one flight to look at the outdoors equipment while my wife looks at cloths and shoes on the main floor. They even have rocking chairs for husbands. Mast is a must see store.

Review №88

Crowded and not handicap accessible. They had places to put on gloves in order to get candy, but the gloves were empty. When we informed the staff, they acted like we were lying. Needless to say the staff was not friendly or helpful. People were letting the children wallow all through the candy without gloves or sanitizer. It was very unsanitary. Im glad I got mine before them.

First time in Waynesville. The whole strip was pretty nice, and all the stores had really interesting goods. This one really caught my eye, great for gifts or just personal wants. And a huge variety of candy :)

This is the jackpot of candy and other things.

Ji
Review №91

Picked up a couple of shirts after hitting all three floors. When you visit Mast, you know what to expect because every store carries the same items. The difference with this store is the mens and womens apparel is flipped on the other sides, and the cash register is on the side instead of the middle. Because of COVID19, youre encouraged to use gloves when picking out candy from the barrels.

Vi
Review №92

The merchandise is nice, but the staff is unhelpful and unfriendly. Their customer service is totally lacking, especially in the toy and candy section. I had to wait an excessive amount of time to purchase my items, while an employee swept the floor and then yelled at me to put on gloves, when I had picked up a bag of candy to purchase. I will not be going back.

This site was extremely overcrowded, and the staff was very unhelpful and unfriendly. They were dosed to have sanitizer and gloves available for the self serve candy. However the glove box was empty. When we informed the staff, they acted like we were lying, and wouldnt give us more gloves to put out. Then they acted like we were asking for the world just to get gloves to get our own candy. Then as we were trying to get our candy, a family came through letting their children wallow all in the candy without gloves or even cleaning their hands. I know covid has changed our views on gems, but thats just not sanitary when its something others are going to eat.
