The weather outside is delightful! ❄️☃️
The Original Mast Store was covered in snow this morning (Monday, December 8). That’s one bean out of the jar - and several more to go.
If you’re traveling, please allow extra time to get where you’re going, drive a little more slowly, and leave some space between you and the car in front of you. See ya soon! ☺️

Turn your sound ON, and pause to watch, listen, and take a breath. Mast General Store offers a feast for all the senses. ☺️
See its sights, hear its sounds, and then, experience the Mast Store for yourself!
Of course, we all do a lot of “Masty” things as Mast General Store employees, but, perhaps, what we do best is have fun and share it. “Have fun and share it” has been the longstanding directive of Mast Store employees since John and Faye Cooper reopened the Original Store in 1980.
Come visit us and join in our fun! Share the experience in person and share it with your friends on social media, too… After all, it’s the Mast way!

"Everybody should know how to do something with their hands" was a thought shared by a 4th-grade teacher 50+ years ago. Mast Store's Arts & Crafts category has kits, books, and sets to inspire creativity in younger folks - like sticker books, potholder looms, and even a few science experiments. 🎨
This section isn't just for kids! Check out the paint-by-number kits, backpacking watercolor kit, and Bob Ross Coloring Book that are sure to provide hours of calm creativity. 🤩
Get artsy at Mast Store! ☺️
Mast feels like family. Take it from our awesome employees, who, as we say, “Have fun and share it,” every day!
Many people choose to work here – sometimes for a season and sometimes a career – because it “feels like family.” Mast General Store is, in fact, a family- and employee-owned company with a community mindset. If you’re interested in working at Mast Store, you can connect with a family and a community larger than yourself. We’d love for you to join us!
