The Mercantile

Obsessed with this place! They make my favorite soaps and candles, which make fabulous gifts. The Volcano scent is everything!! Trust me on this. I'm very into Bourbon and Oak too. They have the best coffee in the back and the cutest little accessories. Very kitschy with unique flowers. You can schedule time to make soap, bracelets, or candles with your friends as well. This place is a Rock Hill staple and worth a visit.

Hidden gem alert!! The Mercantile is one of my favorite places in RH. I first found out about this place as a meeting spot (Jackass Cafe), but the store itself has a lot of unique gifts and is ever-evolving to fit the community needs.There used to be a bunch of merch upstairs, but I believe it has turned into a flex/event space.The goods you can find here range from plants, to clothes, to candles, and gifts. They even started doing a "make your own candle workshop" and are in the process of opening a candy bar.Lots of gift ideas here... some of them are whimsical, some of them creative, and some are just plan cool. Staff here are super friendly and will help you find whatever you are searching for (if they do provide it). The Merc, is located right along White St in the heart of "downtown" Rock Hill. Prime location for many community events, including the being the main sponsor of RH Pride. It's just a great center to gather, stop in, and serve the RH community.

We stopped in here on a Saturday night...and WOAH, I was impressed!I think this place is relatively new to Rock Hill (less than 1 year?), and I still felt, HOW did I not check this out earlier than now?!? BTW, think there's actually 2 locations of this store...but this is the bigger one with the cafe.First of the all, the retail space was huge...and there were SO many items!! Possibly one of the best gift shops I've seen in a long time...in SC, that is. Truly, there were some cool, funny, eclectic things...LOTS to see!Despite the hodgepodge nature of this store, I thought they did a great job making the place look appealing...with some striking decor/accents throughout the store. The only negative is that the pricing of the merchandise was kinda steep...almost too steep for a Rock Hill store. I wondered if it'll be able to survive with such price tags. I sure hope so!Another thing I must mention is that I really liked its adjacent cafe...I think it's called "JACKASS Cafe and Deli" (lol)! Though not as refined as Dean and Deluca, and somewhat quaint, but it definitely offered some ambiance with some plants, rustic, wood furnishings (not all...but here and there) and the various "Jackass" motifs as well. They also carried a variety of dessert items.We tried their Latte, Cappucino, Tiramasu and Macarons...and all were quite good! My only disappointment was how they served the coffee in "To-Go" paper cups instead of the nicer coffee cups. I noticed that post Covid, many coffee and bakery shops have simply gotten slack (and/or cheap!) about serving up coffee in nicer cups now. Next time, guess I'll need to request the coffee in a nice cup versus a paper cup. *SIGH* Still, overall, I was really impressed with this place (both retail and cafe). A much-needed addition to Rock Hill's retail/cafe scene!

This place is so awesome and all of the staff is super nice!! I will definitely be back. We had so much fun making our own candles. This place would be perfect for a girls day out or even a date night.

From Coca-Cola Distributorship to bike shop to a Mercantile shop, this place has quite a history.I was attending an art show by the acclaimed Molly Lastra of Rock Hill, SC. I believe this was the first art show event at this location and it was very professionally done. The space is large and open with 2 floors and as you walk the space you sense that each area has a theme. There are gifts for all occasions but my favorite section was the area with all the live indoor plants. They have quite a selection and they are all green and healthy looking.There is a space for a cafe and coffee along with other beverages. The location is ideal and it has a massive surface parking lot and easy access.It's just a block away from Flipside Cafe, Rock Hill Brewing and Millstone Pizza among many others.The are show was well attended and I saw lot's of familiar faces who are fans of the artist. The are was scattered throughout the building saw you can stroll and view at your leisure and available to view though 4/8/22.

This shop is incredible, seriously!!! It's massive and literally has something for EVERYONE! They even have a corner for kiddos with amazing books discussing diversity and inclusivity. I mean, just wow. I was blown away by this shop. It's 100% worth the ride!You can find candles, cards, socks, flowers, PLANTS, jewelry, men's items, etc. etc. etc. There's so much to see and buy! It's such a fun store and the ladies working there are amazing, so sweet and helpful. I can't wait to go back and do all of my gift shopping this year!!! I lucked up on a gorgeous lickety split philodendron plant that had been on my wishlist for months! She's such a beauty and I'm so happy I ventured to the Mercantile! There's even a brewery and a coffee shop right next stop. Does it really get much better than this. Go check them out!!! :)

I moved to Rock Hill from California for the time being and it was a jarring transition to say the least. I am extremely impressed with the kindness and service quality shown by The Mercantile. I told a friend it seems like they only hire truly good folks. While I'm here, it's become a staple of mine. I grab coffee a few times a week and I bring my niece on weekends to let her work with the crafts. When I eventually head back west I will miss this spot.

Quite the local shop!*Bring Fiddo*Get a snack Sing karaoke *Extra nice gift ideas and finds*Good quality clothesA quaint store with friend staff and supportive karaoke fans found in the cafe.

I love here very much.There are always some new decorations here.There is also a cafe in the back.I like the vibe in this store.

Worst venue I have ever been too. Choose anywhere else to hold your event. They will over price and under perform at every step
