I called and asked for someone with knowledge at the knife counter, and I was quickly transferred to someone who did not give me their name. I was asking if they carry a specific brand and make of knife. I was quickly informed not carry that brand. I then asked if they carried any knives that were designed to be scout carry . He then quickly told me that I need to just come into the store and check for myself and then hung up the phone. I can tell you I will be ordering from Amazon... Read into this however you like.
Loved all of the old time candy. Beautiful place. Very dog friendly!
What a neat store. We had never been to downtown Knoxville before and this place was a nice stop during our visit. Very friendly folks working there. Lots of snacks, candy and goodies, a wide variety of shirts, jackets, hoodies, etc. that tourists would likely embrace. A great selection of shoes, jackets, boots, gear, etc. downstairs for hikers, campers, etc.Things were a bit pricier on certain things, but you could easily find some great gifts or even things for yourself here.
Got some nice treats and and food items to bring home from our trip. Huge store felt like I was walking in circles. Nice staff
This store has a nice selection of everything. There is something for everyone and if you have a sweet tooth this is the place for you. They offer clothes, housewares, camping gear, UT souvenirs, food, pottery, and thats just for starters.The staff here knows customer service. Everyone I encountered went out of their way to make us feel welcome and it made me want to go back and visit again.
It’s awesome you can find everything you need here
Oh my goodness, what an awesome general store! I could (and did!) spend a lot of money in there!!! So many very unique things, great gifts and souvenirs. Well definitely be back next year!
So much fun! This Mast General Store is the greatest! Come stock up on old fashioned candy, toys, tools, and trinkets. Like a trip back in time. The whole family can spend hours here!
Wow! This store is amazing! They sell unique items that are hard to find.They have clothes,shoes,barrels of old-fashioned candy and toys and games that remind you of your childhood.I purchased a homemade slingshot, jacks, cast-iron skillet, bolo paddle,puzzles and Chaco sandals and they have a Christmas section all year long! Best store in town!
The General Mast Store is a great spot to pick up some outdoors gear as well as tourist T-Shirts/collectables. We visited the store while waiting for a dinner table in the downtown Knoxville area. Great store with tons of stuff to offer.
This is a fun store. Full of things from the past. Old fashioned candy by the pound. Prices are pretty high. Definitely a tourist attraction.
You can find all kinds of neat stuff here. Just be prepared to pay full retail on everything.
Definitely a must see place if youre in Knoxville Tennessee. So many fun things to buy with both local and out of town stuff. Clothes, candy, jellies, and pretties for your home and so much more. Love the fact you can park and just walk to all the boutiques and restaurants. Every place looked lively and pretty with the flowers and the decor.
This is a nice store that has a very old-timey feel. Old candies in barrels, cooking stuff in the back, and apparel and Knick-knacks spread throughout. Honestly a good place for someone looking for a southern souvenir.
Very unique store. Kinda of a combination of an outdoorsman store with an old style country store. You can spend considerable time shopping & looking around. I bought some local honey I’m looking forward to take back home & enjoy. Also got a unique & handy knife sharpener I’ve never seen before. Lots of clothing & apparel.
Enjoyed shopping here with my out of town visitors, which was requested for unique finds.
The best ice cream ever!!!! The pumpkin is incredible, as is the salted caramel. Actually, every flavor is creamy and delicious!
Its like taking a walk back in time to your favorite candy store. Great gifts. Neatest toys. Love this place!
Cute store. Love the candy in barrels. Reminds me of a cross between REI and Cracker Barrels store. Lots of cute old timey things.
Very interesting place, both some things. Will be back
Great selection. Much bigger than I thought. Good knife selection as well if you know your knives
Great store! Lots of unique items. Staff is very courteous!
If you are looking for a gift for someone, this is the place. We will go again when we are back in Knoxville. They have a website to shop as well.
One of the many unique shops in downtown Knoxville definitely do not miss going to this shop if your in Knoxville
Excellent store to find great quality clothing, outdoor gear and cool gifts. Well trained, knowledgeable and friendly staff is ready to assist customers. Worth a visit just to browse.
A nice gem to help anchor this portion of Gay Street. I remember a White Stores either there or next door. Touristy naturally. Helpful and cheerful staff.
Nice selection of Tennessee collectibles, old fashioned candy, and assorted general store items. Definitely recommend stopping here if youre in downtown Knoxville.
Full of nice things...clothes,purses,toys,barrels of old classic candy, food, and kitchen items. A fun peek and look around. Maybe leaving with your arms full.
Love going to the Mast. They tend to be a little expensive on alot of merch.
Really cool store with a little bit of everything! Prices vary but most stuff reasonably priced.
Perfect place to go while in Knoxville! Great selection of items and very fun place to go
We always love looking around and shopping at Mast General Store. Fun selection of candy, toys, clothes and shoes, and more.
Great souvenir shop. I saw things I hadnt seen since I was a lad. 😁
Fantastic blend of traditional and modern. Love the bulk candy section.
This is first time coming here and love walking around it is neat and clean and employees are really polite and friendly and would suggest going there is really nice place
Always fun to visit and find things that no other store has. Sometimes contemporary and occasionally back in time.
Nice place to walk around, but prices are too high.
I really really wish they had Tilly hats and stetsons in a small. There are many optijs but stock seems to change so regularly. A great location to get quakity knoxville/TN/mountain merchandise or gear.
Parking is not fun as this is down town Knoxville, but I like this store. Been there several times
Clean store good merchandise.
So many things for sale here - clothing, camping gear, candy, etc. Fun experience to shop there. The team is friendly, helpful and engaging.
Great general store!!Alot of different things to peruse.
One of my favorite stores to visit! So many fun things to look at and great place for gifts!
Fun place to visit and shop for all kinds of nice things!
So I was dreaming of the perfect flannel shirt for the holiday season and stumbled into Mast General. What a sweet store. They have so much to offer..clothes and nick nacks galore! I loved all of the Knoxville items but what caught my eye was the shirt I was dreaming of! It was the perfect lumberjack red and just the right female cut. Cant wait to sport it around Nashville for the holiday season, see some lights and sip hot cocoa🎄🎄🎄
When I walked in I was greeted, while shopping I could ask questions. The merchandise is awsome. Very clean, roomy, excellent people with people skills work here. Thank you all.
Nice selection of survival food. Great camping gear.
All kinds of goodies! Neat stuff to shop for everyone in your family! Enjoy!
Cool store. Only go there for the blenheim ginger ale
I love this store . The staff is always nice & all the merchandise is wicked cool
Loved it! Took my wife there and it was like going back to our childhood. The old toys, candy and nick nacks was amazing. We will definitely be back!
They got Neccos!!They got Neccos!!They got Neccos!!
The Knoxville location is huge. We spent 30 minutes walking every corner checking out the variety of items available for purchase. It is a general store with an old country town look and feel.
Always great place to visit.
Nice place , we always stop by after having lunch. Great hiking supplies dept.
Definitely a must see..soo many cool things..Lotta candy items. Also so many souvenir and other house hold items..go check it out!
First time shopping here. The associate that helped me was awesome. I wish i got her name. Had a ton of cute TN souvenir like items i could send my parents back home. Will go back to check out some of the clothing. The candy collection they have is amazing!
I used to love that store. When the virus first appeared, they used to limit how many can be in the store at any one time. Now they allow unlimited crowds in the store, many of them not wearing a mask. Sadly, it is no longer a safe store to go into if you are concerned about the virus
Great general store..as soon as you step inside.. its a step back in time.. Huge selection of merchandise.. no doubt you will find something to purchase there...
Love, love this store. Nice variety of so many things, clothes, things for the home.Great place to go.
Totally fun store with cozy clothes and outdoor gear. Loved the candy section and cure home goods. A tad pricey, but they had some good sample sales.
Always a must..even when I know Im not buying anything.
We love going there
A nice place to visit. The prices are HIGH. T-shirts start at $25 and UP. Quality brands, not dime store stuff. Got some nice photos of the candy barrels. They do stock some harder to find housware items, but again, if you are willing to pay the price.
Interesting general store! Something for everyone. Charles Chips in a can!!!!
Wonderful shop a little bit of everything in here Loved It!!! Spent all my money here lol
Fun store in the middle of downtown knoxville.
Excellent store, Great Customer service!
Always go by this place when I am in the downtown area.
My two sons like shopping at the Mast General Store for hard to find old fashion and new candy.The Mast General Store is the only store with over 25 different flavors of real maple syrup, oil lanterns, old fashion rocking chairs, hiking boots, casual shoes, and sandals and custom one of kind outfits
Has very nice, merchandise, I love the fact they have a R.C. cola and Moon pie combo, so cool
A little bit of everything especially if youre looking for souvenirs
Visited all the way from Nebraska, was excited to see the brochure at a hotel but disappointed in person as nothing there was from the 1800s all todays hype of clothing and old fashion candy. Drove out of our way over 80 miles to see the store as if it were from 1800s and had to park blocks away to get there. Be prepared to park in a parking garage and walk to get there never any open meter parking on the street.
Wide variety of souvenirs, candy, and mountain gear.
Breakfast at the bar was great
Love this store.
If you are middle class or above or if ya just have some savings dag nab it. Hey Its a pretty heady stop. Get your Northface or some Chacos. Now Parking, give yourself an extra 10 to 45 min to park now.....Go
A fun store! I love to buy t-shirts and sweatshirts there. I also love the socks they carry. A great place to buy souvenirs!!!!
Love this place. You can usually find some good deals on high quality outdoor wear. Nice people, too.
Very cool place highly recommend.
Found a lot of different items there, good selection of outdoor clothing and camping gear. Clothing selection is good.
So much fun stuff to see here! I could wander here for hours! Lots of Tennessee merch, products made it Tennessee, and that candy area! Definitely a must stop!
A cute, fun shop with a wide variety of items including, specialty foods, soaps and lotions, clothes for hiking and outdoor activities, jewelry, shoes, purses and dont forget the plethora of Vintage Candy. They have fresh popcorn daily and great gift ideas. While some of their prices can be bit high. Thier large selection should suit everyone.
