Reviews of Mast General Store Columbia
The great place to go for those special gifts. The second you walk in you see the vast selection and you are greeted by friendly and happy people. It really sets the tone and starts you off on an adventure. The top brands, latest gadgets and specialty items under one roof covering two floors. We found the staff to be very knowledgeable and helpful.
Tha place gives an old time general store feel with outdoor wear and shoes. They do have dresses, blouses, men's wear as well. You can also an assortment of jewelry for women. They greet you and will engage in a conversation when not busy.
Honest found this from TikTok. This store has an old time feel with nostalgic items from candy to games. Being new to the area I loved the variety of the store.
Mast General Store is the best. This place is huge with a plethora of items from candy, dishes, clothing, hba, candles, etc etc etc. Visiting the area and needed to replenish my Blenheim hot ginger ale. Mast General Store had it in stock. Bought 2 cases. Didn't stop to shop anything else but will make it a delibrate destination for the future. The candy barrels are awesome. Make sure you check out the downstairs. 👍 Easy to find
They got everything you can want from clothes to shoes snacks food drinks candy rocks postcards. One stop shop for memorabilia love it
Mast General Store is a delightful shopping experience every time I go! They have curated thoughtful and quality products in a wide array of categories. Mast is one of my few go-to places for gifts. There is something for everyone! The candy barrel and toy section is lots of fun and a bit of nostalgia. The store is always well-organized and tidy, and the staff is friendly and helpful.
Very cute general store. Employee's greeted me as I walked through the door. The store has 2 floors and a wide selection of things to buy. Good selection of souvenirs I love the candy section. They have barrels you can pick a few pieces or load up your own barrel. If you like ginger, buy some ginger candy it's amazing.
We spent a cloudy afternoon enjoying all the things the general store had to offer! It was arranged in classic MGS fashion and of course featured the famous candy section. Bought a few Gifts.
Nice place, great candy selection. Clothes for work, hiking, or casual.
Prices are a bit high, but I'm still wearing shirts I bought for work from there after 2 years.
Staff is wonderfully helpful.
Cool store to putz in if you have time to kill in downtown. Every little trinket under the sun you could think of from candy to spatulas to hammocks to coolers to cookbooks to clothing. Easy to spend an hour browsing all the stuff inside.
I cant believe all these yrs living in the Columbia area, I finally went into the Mast General Store! Conveniently located down town on Main St, good luck with parking, its a hit or miss at times. But I do love hanging out DT and discovering new shops and places to eat, Columbia has a small time charm.
The store is clean, packed and neatly organized, they have everything that you can think of, literally...Take your time and stroll, this isn't a store to rush thru, they have a upstairs and downstairs. You will miss something if your in a hurry! I actually found some cute sun dresses and ole timey candy in the back area! Kinda expensive but they do have sales all the time, so visit often as you can. Yes, this will be a store that I visit often thru the yrs.
Customer service is excellent!
Mast has the coolest clothes and shoes. My kids love the candy selection. We're so happy they started carrying LLBean too.
Omg,, LOVED this quant little place, so warm and cozy, inviting to say the least!! I could spend hours upon hours in this store!! Smells old, the floors crack when you walk, and alot of the stuff was on sale for a super low price! In fact, I bought my first robe from here, couldn't resist myself, it was on sale and it was pink and fuzzy, and soft, while checking out, the girl behind the counter sid that I would be living in my new robe, I said nah, but that's exactly what I've been doing, lol, living in my new robe! Please give this store a try, they have everything under the stars, you name it, they probably have it!!
One of the coolest store I’ve ever been in —I just loved it. Unbelievable variety of high quality outdoor gear, all top brands and fantastic selection. Amazing look and feel to the store, which is something like 130 years old. Still intact squeaky floors and banisters, old memorabilia everywhere —very cool vibe. Extremely friendly, helpful and polite staff. Can’t wait to go back.
This was more than a General store. It had lots of clothing, outdoor wear, shoes, souvenirs, pottery, books, and then you come to the classic general store candy barrels, baking mixes, syrups, jams, jellies, chips, nuts, etc. This is certainly a must stop for a visitor and a check in for a local.
Always find the most uncommon goods at Mast General Store. We like it!
Just an Amazing place to visit if you're in Columbia!! We spent and hour + looking at all the cool things like child hood memories. Friendly stay and just a one stop shop place to visit. Very unique items.
This store has name brand merchandise from companies like LL Bean, Osprey, Patagonia,Deuter, Big Agnes and others. Great for hikers. They have a good selection of shoes too.
Lots of cool stuff you can't find anywhere else. Grab a coke in a bottle while you are shopping.
So glad I came across this shop during a recent visit to Columbia. Not one to shop but this store held me attention for well over an hour and I found so many things for gifts or personal use. Will definitely be visiting them online for future purchases as well.
This location is two stories, and the store was very clean during our visit. The first floor that you enter from the street had a lot of fun things to look at (home decor, gifts, old candies, toys, etc). The bottom floor is for those who are more into the outdoors (knives, high end outerwear, and camp gear.)
My first time visiting a Mast General Store. It was very cool! Staff was friendly and so many neat items. Thoroughly enjoyed the old fashioned atmosphere of the store. Prices on many of the items seemed too high, but there were some good buys as well.
Lots of fun, great experience with a large variety of products like knives, candy, clothes, novelties, and bring your dogs too!
Loved the store, only wish I had more time. Will be back with the wife soon.
Love it! The old fashioned candy and games are the best. I also found a Burt's Bees toner I'd been looking for. Alas, the cashier was confused when I gave her a $20 and a $1 for a $10.71 charge. She tried to give me back the $1. The new math defies logic.
Must stop if in downtown area. Huge variety unique item. Spent almost hour browsing through store. Picked up great gifts here. Don't forget to go in basement. FUN EXPERIENCE
Always love going to Mast General. Such diverse items to shop for. Love that they keep items for the house, kitchen, kids toys, hiking and camping items and shoes, and clothes.
Everything was old timey and full of culture. And of course, a bit pricey.
Super friendly staff and vast variety of products. Kids loved it too!
Always love going into these stores! They do allow your dog to go in as well
This store has a great array of different things! Great store to stop in and shop on your Saturday morning through the Soda City Market... or any day for that matter! I got some adorable magnets.
Awesome place to get old time favorite candies. Great selection of outdoor stuff
I like this store. Eclectic mix of items. I especially like the jarred goods and kitchen items. People working there are always friendly. It is small but worth a visit.
I did not have a lot of time to browse. But I enjoyed all the stuffs and different kind of stuffs they had to sell. I will be back with the wife when I more time! Clothes, old times candy, games and toys. Interesting place.
Neat downtown general store. Name brands and more
A step back in time...what a great store. It even has barrels of penny type candy. They have so many wonderful clothing items. Plus, great organic jams, honey etc.... We will go back again and again! Hey..there are numerous Christmas gift items!!
Great place for last minute stocking stuffers.
A delightful place to do some shopping. The store is full of iconic and useful items, as well as some more "kitschy" products. Yes, I fell victim to impulse purchasing; but, in my own defense, it IS a very cool hat..
You need an entire afternoon just to look around at the magnificent decorations in the store and an entire next day to really check out and appreciate the amount of amazing products they have! Love love love this place!!!
Interesting place with many unusual items that would be difficult to find anywhere else in Columbia. Check out the candy isle in the back of the store.
Amazing place...love it. Has all the catalog items , all the good stuff...I like in one store... wish they had a store up North!
Love it here!! A bit expensive for me but I love the selection of merchandise. Great at gift giving times to find unique stuff! Nice staff. Clean store.
So glad that we stopped here passing through to go to Savannah. Super cute store with a lot of random goodies from shirts to bags to mugs, you name it honestly. Rebecca was super helpful with our dog and taking our basket of goodies while we were waiting in line. Would gladly stop by here again
If you're visiting Columbia, you should go to the Mast General Store. I find it hard to describe. Two floors of merchandise that you probably don't need but you will want to purchase.
We just found this place and..... WOW. We'd walked past it numerous times because the outside does not reflect the inside at all. Endless high-end outdoor clothing, a huge candy/toy area, great kitchen and camping section, shoes and more clothes down stairs... We already decided it's going to be our One-Shop-Stop for Christmas this year.
One more observation. You would think the shoes here would be a little more expensive. That is incorrect. I like a particular pair of Merrell hiking shoes and my mother wears Birkenstocks both of us found this store to be a good $30-$40 less than what we buy online.
Fun and nostalgic store. Prices are very reasonable
Old school general store with candy barrel section.
Really cool local spot. Kind of like an outdoor clothing store mixed with a cracker barrel country store
I honestly come only for the first floor. The candy, soaps and home goods are always great. A great additional stop while im perusing Soda City Market.
They are one of the few that have "Life is good." Clothing and are great for particular gifts.
Friendly service and willing to help by bagging the assorted candy for you.
Love this place. I shop here for sorghum, dill pickles, hams and jellies. They have a great selection of old timey candies in barrels. There is a nice men/women clothing section. Great place to find gifts.
Bulk candy for about $14 per pound. Lots of clothing, toys, kitchen items, food, and more. I love their selection of items celebrating the area.
If you've never been, make sure you are not on a time crunch.
The Columbia, SC location is the only Mast store I have visited. The employees are always more than helpful. They make sure that you know that they are there to help, but stay far enough away that they do not actually bug you. The clothing options are great. If you're in the mood for candy...this is the place to go for candy! Now that we are starting hiking more, I have a feeling that we will be back for hiking supplies. Keep up the fine work.
Do they buy apparel ie uniforms army gear
Unique one of a kind retail store offering fine reday-to-wear and footwear. Every need for outdoor adventures. Retro vintage household items and candy barrel old country store candies. Unique kitchen tools and beautiful pottery dinnerware. Stop in while visiting Soda City Market from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Saturday. A must see for yourself farmers market featuring artisan craftsmen.
Really fun store, a little bit of everything. Love the clothes and shoes. Awesome soda's and candy area.
Looking for hiking equipment. Staff had knowledge of the brands and fit for backpacks, hiking socks and sun treated shirts. Very pleasant staff. Going back. Much bigger selection than our hiking store.
Nice store and great to have them on Main street. Everyone very friendly and helpful.
Reminds me a lot those San Francisco Bay sstores
Love this place. Stop whenever I'm near one
Love the "old fashioned feel" of this store. Staff is always friendly. It has a great variety of items. Clean bathrooms! My kids LOVE the candy barrels filled with all the hard-to-find candies (the kinds I grew up on!). Higher end clothing & shoe brands downstairs. Awesome place to just peruse around even if you're not looking for anything in particular, you'll find something that you love!
Nostalgic. Reminiscent of the "Mercantile" of old. Great section with hard to find candy (by the pound) & kids toys. Downstairs has all the great outdoor brands of clothes, shoes & camping stuff.
Great selection. Going back soon!
Awesome store that has plenty to offer.
Always fun to see what Mast has especially after a nice Saturday visit to Soda City market. Great selection of random things!
Fun place. Clothes to gag gifts. A bunch of real good candy.
Always a great place to walk through and shop in. My favorite area is downstairs, where all the outdoor/camping equipment and clothing is. They've got a great selection and if I ever need to try something in person I go here to do it.
I love Mast General Store. It is such a great store. There are so many great things to choose from. You will feel like you are in an old fashioned store. My favorite part of the store is the candy section. All of my childhood favorites. The staff is also friendly I would recommend this place to everyone.
Nice department type store w higher end items....mostly clothes, but many other unique items for gifts & pets, etc. If you haven't been in this store, it's worth the trip to take inventory for future gift or clothing ideas👍 …
This place is a bit of a tourist trap but you can get a lot of things here. It is chocked full of very cool things that means very good gifts for people. They got everything from kitchen gadgets to rare candies. Yes the place is large and it is a chain but I really have never had a bad experience going to one of these places
I was looking for a store with a good selection of hiking supplies. I live an hour away and had never heard of General Mast. Today, I was in town for another appointment and decided to visit. WOW! I was greeted as soon as I walked in and given a quick tutorial on the layout of the store. Then, I was directed downstairs to the bottom floor which is entirely devoted to quality, highly rated outdoor gear. Once again, I was immediately greeted by Ashlin. She was amazing. She was so patient and detailed helping me select everything from boots to socks! She really knew the products well. I price checked against Amazon while there. I paid only $8 more for boots (well worth the expertise and convenience) and the other items were priced the same as Amazon. I was so absorbed, two hours literally flew by and I didn't even get to check out to first floor! Can't wait to go back!
Great place to shop and to work! I’ve always really liked shopping at the Mast General Store because they have a lot of unique and cool stuff. I will also forever appreciate them for my brief time working there. I was a teacher’s aide and needed a summer job. A lot of places turned me away despite ten years of retail experience, but Mast was happy to hire me, even knowing it was temporary. It is a very positive and friendly work environment, just like my shopping experiences always had been. The popcorn is great and (speaking as both a customer and former employee) they’ll pop a fresh batch whenever. Try the birch beer or the Blenheim’s ginger ale.
First time to visit 👍 great store, nice employees …
A big variety of various goods are sold here. Nice big bulk section of different candies, classic favorites and kid favorites along with newer candies. Lots of mast general themed foods like jams and sauces. Lots of clothes that are locally themed or generally southern themed! Definitely a good place to go for locals or tourists. Postcards magnets, stickers, and even seasonal things and toys.
A fantastic throwback store in the general store theme. A little bit of everything. Great theming, and a large variety of items to interest almost everyone. Fun to browse, and a great stopping point before hiking or camping.
I ordered the dish cloths, my favorite! I always buy them at Mast General but haven't traveled to Maggie Valley and after 5 years, maybe more then 5 years. I need news ones. I highly recommend the old fashioned 4 pack everyone! Thank you Leigh for the excellent service!
We went there because of a promotion they were running. I like Mast a lot, but parking is usually difficult to find. End of summer prices led me to purchase a pair of shorts and a polo. Mast is a great general store. Great place for outdoor products and wear. I suggest you look into the tailgate style rockers.
Love the grape juice. Will order again. Wish there was a Mast General Store near Myrtle Beach.
Had so much fun looking through all the barrels of candy. Left with a few bags of goodies. Great gifts and enjoyable people working there.
Great store with a fabulous staff. I had some shoes that were messed up and they let me bring them back for a full refund without a receipt(they we're able to bring up the transaction in their computer). They themln ordered me another pair of shoes which came in in just a couple of days and now I'm good to go. Customer service at it's finest.
Some of the best Organic and all natural products around ! Friendly staff as always !
I love this place. Interesting stuff that's hard to find anywhere else. Very friendly staff.
Always very friendly and helpful staff
Fun shopping experience for clothes, household knick knacks, camping good and footwear.
Special kids (and candy) corner too!
Mast General Store is a Columbia staple. Whether you're looking for clothes, shoes , camping supplies, housewares, or local foods, you can find some amazing choices here. It's dog friendly so don't be surprised if you see pups walking around with their humans. Plus there's a nice Gamecock selection. It's one of our favorite stops when we're looking for gifts.
The staff is super friendly and helpful!
We were able to find what we needed as well as put some shirts on hold in Greenville. You can always find something good here
Love the variety inside the store (clothes, camping supplies, candy, and home goods). Rather expensive but cool place to stop in and browse.
While in Downtown, it's a nice general store to buy gifts and last minute outdoor gear needs. They have a great candy section as well, lol. A great selection of all sorts of gear, and items for the house.
Mass General stores are always a fun and interesting place to visit. I love the old-fashioned candies and other goods. You can also get very good camping gear but it'll be at a little on the pricey side.
I'm a little overdue on this review because I've visited it a few times over the past few years. I think that alot people just don't know how much is offered in this store that is located in the downtown of Columbia SC community. It's conveniently located on main street in Columbia and there is garage and street parking nearby. I usually visit this store whenever I'm visiting other business on Main street or on Saturdays while I might be visiting the Soda City Market.
This store is always clean and well maintained by the very professional staff. Currently the store is operating on limited capacity and within the COVID-19 pandemic precautions. All the staff and customers must wear face masks. The store is 2 floors and has pretty much anything you might need for any outdoor adventures. I'm positive that i will be back in near future and I'll recommend them for friends and family members.
I absolutely love this store. It follows a niche that is sorely underrepresented in the common market, and that's a tradition general store. The classical wood boards on the floor complement the hallmark antiquated style. The store features a wide variety of departments, with a massive candle isle, locally made crafts such as leather bound notebooks (I love mine!), Clothes from popular brands, and an extensive supply of camping supplies from ultralight packing or simple nalgene bottles.
Mast is always great for shopping for gifts, very unique finds. They have Gamecock apparel, kitchen and housewares, candy, books and clothes (kids and adults). Downstairs they have hiking gear - quality name brands. Staff is always so pleasant and helpful. Don't forget the fresh popcorn in the back...50c and $1 bags!
Awesome store. They have a little bit of everything but the old style candy barrels and the toys from 20+ years ago really makes you nostalgic! Great service as well.
Super fun store that has a little of everything. Definitely worth your time to go inside and browse around.
Great store to just walk around and look at all the cool stuff! Usually take out of town guests to this store because it's super cool. Very surprised because I feel like this is better than most of the outdoors/mountain-wear type stores I see in the actual mountains.
No visit to Main St. is complete without visiting Mast General Store. For the uninitiated, Mast is the destination shopping experience for classic American toys, kitchen wares, and barrel candy of yesteryear. The department store features a broad selection of apparel for everyday and the outdoor enthusiast. Stop in before visiting Lake Murray or camping at Congaree for your outdoor supplies. Excellent customer service with knowledgeable staff.
Super cute, they have the old type of candy shopping with the bins. Clothing items are way to high for my budget but they are very cute
Cool place. They have a bunch of candies you can't find in a normal candy store. They've got lots of nice clothes and good sales. There's also a bunch of old games and toys. It's a fun shop to visit
Great store to shop..from clothes to shoes..to nostalgia and vintage items.. customer service was superior. Easy parking in rear if store with access to store.
One of my favorite stores in Columbia. From old-timey toys and barrels of candy, to great outdoor clothes and camping gear, to music and kitchen cookery they have a great variety. The staff is kind, and the store is just a lot of fun.
The first time I went to visit this store. They have many great bargains, I saw a few nice items I would like to buy. I enjoyed seeing the barrels filled with candy. I will be going back.
Great old fashioned store with lots of different items
The store has a lot of neat stuff. Things you haven't seen in years. Nice people that works here. The candy is very expensive. I'm unsure about how they weigh it but a handful of candy shouldn't be five bucks.
Super adorable place! It's like a down home kinnucans, on steroids. I loved the local products found upstairs and the candy filling stations. There was an apple cider sample lady who was super sweet. They have all sorts of high end outdoor clothing brands with wealths to choose from. They sold clothes, kitchen ware, toiletries, food, toys, shoes, etc. This place was like Mary popping bag, it just kept going.
I had a blast!! Remembering all of the candies that I used to eat as a kid. Razzles, Mary Jane's, Boston baked beans, candy cigarettes, bazooka gum, swedish fish,etc... I'm still smiling!! Now for the grown up stuff, ugh,lol. I found some great kitchen gadgets ( silicone cast iron pan handle covers, jelly making bags 40% off, pie crust covers). I really enjoyed looking at their extensive array of canned products ( dilly beans, chow chow, strawberry rhubarb jelly,etc) for sale. They also offered a great selection of apparel currently 40-50% off. I saw the cutest pink Yeti cooler and tons of good wholesome toys and games for children. Truly did my heart good to flashback the good ole days and fun times. They even had handmade soaps, salves, and other hard to find items, like oil lanterns and replacement wicks.Theyo gave a military discount which was 15% off the most expensive item that is not on sale. It was well worth the hour drive from Fort Mill. I'll definitely come back to explore and find new treasures again. Such a great store and with pleasant customer service like Darlene gave us at check out, what more could you want.
Good outdoors and candy selection. Fun store to peruse and find nostalgic items from the past. Can get crowded at times, especially on Saturday. It can be a bit on the pricey side but it's still a great store.
Love this place! Between personal trips and taking out-of-towners here, I visit this store often. Most recently, I was meeting with my best friend who now lives in Massachusetts. We agreed to bring each other a basket of local goodies. I knew Mast was my go-to place: Adluh grits, Charleston teas and cookies, local honey and jams, locally crafted soaps, etc. They also give a military discount ! She loved her goodies and I enjoyed my old-fashioned barrel candies!
Great store if you like to shop around. There's all different types of things! My favorite part are the large candy barrels at the back of the store! Another plus... The employees are helpful and nice!
Always great place to shop
Mast General Store is great. They have such good outdoors gear, a friendly staff, and have led the redevelopment momentum of this part of Main Street. I usually stick to the downstairs because I love the hardcore outdoors gear and the main floor is more generalized. It's a great place to shop but if you need specialized outdoors gear try Get Your Gear on.
My first time in this store. It's a nice old timey store.
Love the Mast General Store! Always have all the old candy you can't find anywhere else. Also have cold bottles of Nehi!! Clothes and shoes and all kinds of fun stuff there too.
Very interesting store!
Cute little store with a variety of items at decent prices. Would recommend making a trip here.
This place is awesome. It's like a candy store for everyone. They have shoes, tools, clothes, toys, things for the house. Folksy environment, has upstairs and downstairs and outside garden. Helpful and attentive staff.
Always fun to shop at Mast General.
Always a fun place to go. You can find almost anything here! Wherever we need to our not, we always come in when we are downtown. Great place to find things from your childhood- Charles Chips, fantastic root beer, etc. Something for everyone.
Great place, will go back again, but DURING THE WEEK, it was way way too crowded n busy to see everything....but fast service when I needed it and I was in n out fast, those ladies that rang me up are fast...
This has become a go-to place for me to find well-made clothing that won't look terrible after just a few washings. That's remarkably hard to find these days!
As a native from Boone, NC and a USC alum, the store in Columbia does not disappoint. Great selection of outdoors and general store type goods.
The youngens and older crowd will love the candy barrels.
Great prices on the clothing! If you like sweets check out the candy section. They have a lot of "ole school" candy that you can't find in most stores anymore.
Wonderful selection, friendly staff, amazing candy section, fun nostalgic toys, always a treat to shop there. Great place to bring visitors from out of town.
Awesome place to find old fashioned candy. I bought a candyland game that was a remake of the one I had as a child. Loved playing with the grandkids when I got home. The creeky wooden floors add to the nostalgia. Great history...head inside to see for yourself.
Enjoyable place to shop...Super friendly and helpful staff, I like the brands. My wife spends hours in here, takes me 15 mins to get what I need. I sit in the rocking chairs and chat with folks to kill time.
This store is a wonderful place to roam around in. So many neat and unique things to see and buy. My only complaint is parking, bit even that is easily resolved if you go at the right time of day.
Great store to simply browse or buy. Consistently polite staff.
Now that The Backpacker is closed down, this is the only quality gear place downtown. Good selectionof backpacking and outdoor gear from good brands. Plenty of employees to help and the seem to be very knowledgeable.
Very unique and fun store. Great service as well. It has a country feel to it, but a wide assortment of items. Nothing crazy digital here it seems like mainly handmade and old timey products.
I think this store is really cool, from the moment you walk in and you realize that their floors are probably older than you are yeah, maybe even your parents, you get the feeling of being in an old timey store. Once you get used to the fact that walking around sounds the same as walking through an 1800s Plantation home from the hardwood floors creaking beneath your soles, you can begin to look at what store has for sale.
I was pleased to find all of the outdoor goods that they carry, from Yeti to Patagonia you can pretty much find it here. Beyond that you can find cooking Goods, hats, purses, scarves, cast iron pans, even candy and toys. I'm a little disappointed in their bulk candy prices, they're absurdly expensive. Why buy in bulk when buying somewhere else is cheaper?
They had some cool slingshots, hand made from wood and I couldn't help but get one.
A must visit place for throw back stuff
I would work here for free, if I wasn't retired! Love the merchandise selections, very friendly, helpful staff. All price ranges. 2 levels, so much to see! Always walk out with a purchase!
I love this place a little pricey but stuff lasts.
Love to visit this place. Great variety of things to choose from. I especially like the fact that they sell the world"s best ginger ale, Blenheim's!! 2😍😍😍😍 …
I like this store. There's just always so much stuffed in there it can be difficult to move around.
This place is so fun to go to. It has a huge array of offerings from local goods to high quality items to specialty items to vintage goods brought back to life. Eye candy (and real candy) galore!
I always enjoy going there. They have unique things. It's a bit pricey but they usually have good deals in the sale section.
It's dog friendly as well.
Visiting a Mast General Store is always a wonderful experience. The staff at the Columbia location is very helpful and kind. The variety of offered items is vast making it a fun time just looking around.
You can still get Stuckeys pecan logs and divinity. Remember Beeman's gum? All their outdoor stuff is great. A good place to get a last Christmas gift on the 23rd & 24th!
Fun place...little over priced but it's nostalgic!
I Could Spend Hours In This Store. Like A Free Museum. All The Vintage Toys, Candy, And Other Items, Sweep You Up And Carry You Away. The Clothing Items Are Super And Well Priced. Thank You Mast !!!
Great quality items ranging from modern fashion to dressing for the great outdoors or for the fitness enthusiast, but a bit pricey. They stand behind their products with friendly and helpful customer service.
Fun place to take the whole family. Quality clothing, games and old time candy store.
Love everything here. Great event to meet Cocky! My son was so excited to see him and all the staff were very enthusiastic and helpful.
Love the candy. Good sale on end of season items. Wide variety of men's, women's and children's items (and those who may not identify as any of those)
Bought a nice belt at a good price
Such an awesome store. There is something for everyone to look at. I always thoroughly enjoy browsing Mast when Im downtown. Fun gift ideas here!!
Great Store with amazing staff. I'm so impressed with their staff, I'll spend a little more to shop here and support them rather than buy online.
THE BEST customer service. I lost a receipt from a few years ago that I needed and they were able to recover it. Every time I come in, folks are friendly and have good recommendations. Thanks for all your help!
Mast has a great selection of products. You never know what you're going to find. Excellent place for outdoor gear, and you can get an assortment of candy on the way out.
Great place for locals and tourists alike. Features things like retro bottle drinks. Also, lots of clothes and candy sold by the pound. Quite large store situated along Main Street.
Very friendly staff. Great selection of merchandise that you would otherwise have to order online. If you have time, order online, it's cheaper and the same products.
Probably my favorite store! Prices are a little higher there but I think the quality of what you buy is much better. (sometimes you really do get what you pay for)
Very popular place where you can find items that you won't see in most stores. Has the feel of shopping in the past. It's worth checking out.
This is a great place there is something for everyone. Stop here everytime we are in Columbia. This trip found a bacon flavored ketchup looking forward to making an egg sandwich this weekend
Place I go to at least once a week for a soda and some candy. Also has a huge selection of cute clothes as well as a whole downstairs of outdoor gear and clothing. Very well priced.
Great selection of the top brands for outdoor gear and clothing. Old country store feel. Staff is very helpful and never pushy.
I couldn’t believe it. Walking around Waynesville with my phone, no cash or cards. Mast does NOT accept any electric payments-NONE! How many other purchases are they losing?
This store is massive. There are souvenirs for just about anyone here. The staff are always friendly and helpful. This store was integral in the rebirth downtown Columbia. One of my favorite stores in Columbia to go to.
Cute general store in downtown Columbia. Nice selection of items and fairly priced, great sales too! Will definitely return.
I really liked the old fashioned style of the store. Took me back to my younger days. The staff was very friendly.
Fun place to shop on Main Street, camping supplies and good traveling clothes. Wish they'd discount the Life is Good shirts sometime though.
Love this place,we've been to the one in Asheville and the Hendersonville Mast store.So glad they came to Columbia.Great place,unique and nostalgic items,and wonderfull staff!
