About Us
Where Nostalgia Meets Modern
In its heyday, the general store was more than just a place for small-town farmers and homemakers to buy necessary supplies, from tools and tacks to commodities, clothing, toys, and more. The general mercantile also served as an anchor in the community, a place where neighbors congregated and socialized.
In honor of these classic community hubs, we offer a broad selection of unique goods, eclectic gifts, and nostalgic heirloom-worthy supplies for all ages and stripes. We are proudly locally owned and our exclusive offerings and quality brands are sourced from Asheville and beyond.
Gifted Home Goods
Who doesn’t love items for cooking and entertaining? We sell handsome cast-iron pieces by Smithey Ironware, small appliances by Smeg, a lovely selection of barware and accessories, grilling supplies, and sophisticated details for wining and dining. We also carry a great selection of artisanal food items, including Spicewalla spice blends, Biscuit Head buttermilk biscuit mix, Old School grits and cornbread mixes, preserves by Copper Pot Wooden Spoon, French Broad Chocolates, Poppy Popcorn, Woodford Reserve cocktail mixes, bitters, and more.
Other fine accoutrements for the home include scented candles, coconut husk door mats, pillows and throws, lavish bath and body products, as well as select brands of nontoxic household cleaners. We also carry pretty paper supplies, including books, stationary, journals, cards, and calendars.
Lifestyle Accessories, Toys, & More
We carry fashionable accessories and other unique gifts, such as clever T-shirts, scarves, hats, and gloves, overnight bags, jewelry, and a fine collection of Able leather handbags. For infants and children, you’ll find novelty toys, stuffed animals, plush blankets, and other precious items, as well as old-timey candy in bulk. We also carry some fun (and funny) items for pets.
