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.

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.

Loved loved this place! Super helpful staff downstairs with the hiking equipment. Got this amazing bag for less then I found it anywhere else! Can't wait to use it on our next adventure! Upstairs so many many amazing and cute things. Was too memorized to remember to take pictures but not enough to stop myself from buying too much, lol. We'll definitely be back

Quaint old fashioned store. Friendly service. Like stepping back in time. Candy I hadn't seen for years. I loved the store but thought over all a bit pricey.

I love Mast General Store, it’s definitely the jewel of Downtown Columbia! The staff is so friendly and the store is so unique, I drop in every time I get the chance. They also have a lot of cool items you can’t really find anywhere else. Five stars for sure!

Loved the old general store feel. Lots of old time favorite candies, plus unique foods, snacks, clothing, more. Great place to stop in and peruse or get a unique gift. My husband had us stop back for our 2nd trip for the espresso fragrance candle and I gor a bar of honeysuckle scented goats milk soap.

What a great business! I do not live nearby, however, I did place an order with this store online. I could not be more pleased nor impressed by the experience I had with them. My order was placed late on a Saturday night, shipped on Monday and arrived on Tuesday. The item arrived in great condition, with a very nice thank you card which included information on the order and a store logo sticker. It was a very nice, greatly appreciated addition. You just don't receive service like this from any business nowadays. I think Mast General Store and it's employees in Columbia, SC are great! I will definitely be shopping with you again and maybe someday soon will be able to visit the store itself. Thank you for a great experience!
