Mast General Store, Asheville

From the outside, this store looks modern, even contemporary. But step through those glass doors and you'll be transported back to your childhood days when you hung out at the corner candy store. Grab a bucket and choose from over 500 kinds of candy, some hard-to-find old favorites, displayed in bushel baskets on one side of the store. Remember Chuckles and Mary Janes? Well, they've got 'em! If you can get past the candy, Mast also stocks a charming array of country style products as well as sports gear and clothing.
