Now this is what I am talking about. It’s like stepping back in time to my childhood memories. The store is place that I could spend hours in looking from top to bottom shelves. I know there’s plenty items I would want. We went to the store in Waynesville and enjoyed the barrels of candy and I remember getting clothing, gadgets, toys, and so much more. Enjoy these old time treasures that still bring the people into their doors. Can’t imagine how much attention is paid to the customers. Try getting anybody to help you in the big box change is a challenge and items are replaced elsewhere from your last visit.

I am from western PA but went to Carson-Newman College (at that time) where I met my bride who is from Greeneville TN. We often would stop at the Mast General Store on our trips from our home in eastern NC to visit family. One of the memories of our boys was a casket that was on display in what is now the Christmas Shop section. Thank you again and keep up the videoing of beautiful and historic Tennessee.

Watching this being back meany memories for me. In the early 80’s I ran a general store in Northern Ontario Canada, it had been in the family for 80 + years. It had the gas pumps butcher shop groceries, clothing and everything a general store would carry. I absolutely loved serving customers and cutting meat. One day I’d love to visit this store. The coolest thing for me is the knife area, I ordered a custom made knife directly from Winkler Knives a few years back, he definitely knows how to put out beautiful work. I definitely would love to visit this area, and going to add it to my list. I just love your channel.
