Mast General Store prides itself on being a destination that takes our guests on a journey. It’s one of many reasons we value our communities – their histories, cultures, Main Streets, outdoor spaces, and, most of all, their people – and strive to fill the role of a traditional general store by serving as a gathering place where everyone can come together and feel a sense of common spirit. ...read more

We can all agree that technology is good. After all, without technological advancements, we would all be carding and spinning yarn to weave cloth for making our own clothes, walking everywhere we go, and books would be very expensive and hard to come by. While we’re not advocates for Luddite living, there are some old-fashioned ways of doing things that should continue to be practiced every day. ...read more

When you pause and let your mind wander, where does it go? Maybe it goes to a time far away to a family trip to the lake. Perhaps it moseys off to summer days spent at your grandparents’ house. Possibly it drifts back to an amusement park visit with brothers, sisters, and the whole family. Wherever it goes, it always seems to be a summer place. Evidently, warm weather makes warm memories. ...read more

Even before we bought the Mast General Store, we were taken by the beauty of Valle Crucis. We’ve heard people describe the drive out Broadstone Road as traveling through a time portal. In the 1970s, fields in the river bottoms would be filled with tobacco, cabbage, or high with hay to feed cattle that were grazing in the summer pasture. ...read more

The lucky few who have seen the Earth from a different perspective – astronauts - all echo the same viewpoint upon their return. Yuri Gagarin, a Russian cosmonaut and the first human to go to space, commented, “Orbiting Earth in the spaceship, I saw how beautiful our planet is. People, let us preserve and increase this beauty, not destroy it.”

Who's ready for another diversion or two? By now, our new routines are, well, routine. Get up, make coffee, fix breakfast, send the students to school in one corner of the living room, and set up the office on the kitchen table. This week's Boredom Busters will revisit a skill that many of us have let slip in the days of GPS, offer up a few podcasts, and send a jigsaw puzzle or two your way. ...read more

We hope everyone enjoyed a little yoga, fixed a nice extra special meal one night, and then threw down at a big dance party. We are all wearing lots of hats these days – from small business CEO and the school's head master to the top chef and building custodian. That means its even more challenging to get everything done and to have a little spare time for fun. This week we have a few more suggestions to shake up your stay-at-home routine with activities and a movie night. ...read more

As an old-fashioned general store, customer service is at our core. We realize you may not feel comfortable coming into the store right now, but you may have some needs that we can help with.
