Waxhaw General Store

A really cool store with a vast array of gift ideas for mom, guys, housewarming kids, games, candles, etc.

What an amazing store! Friendly people, lots of variety, fresh delicious food and an overall great place.

This is in response to Ashley C's one star review. I was at the store when this incident happened and I can say it NEVER happened the way she described! My elderly mother was with me in store and was treated with kindness and respect from the nice lady who seemed to working alone. She needed to clean up the spill before anyone slipped and fell. I can't believe the story has been twisted this way! What happened to having a little patience? The Waxhaw General Store is our favorite place to visit in downtown Waxhaw!

I've never been to a store as friendly and welcoming as the General Store. I'm always greeted with an enthusiastic hello and a warm feeling of thanks and goodbyes. I've never left there empty handed. Whether it's their local poultry and meats, nostalgic sweets, retro toys and gadgets, eclectic gifts like hand-crafted housewares and decor or my favorite... borderline gourmet sodas. The store itself is a modern twist to a once small antique town.

Yesterday my family was visiting from Florida and I brought them to walk the shops of downtown Waxhaw. My 85yr old grandmother unknowingly, (not seeing the sign on the door), brought her soda in the store and it slipped from her hand spilling some on the floor. The lady working at the shop immediately started frantically cleaning it up and while my grandmother was very apologetic. The lady then started to VERY aggressively scold my grandmother with her finger in her face telling her " didn't you see the sign on the door? No drinks are allowed! I should never have let you in the store!" Then as she was frantically cleaning the spilled soda ( on the floor) she kept saying " look, now I have to clean this up because of you!" I have never seen such an embarrassing and rude display towards customers before!! We all told the lady we were sorry and she was so frantic and rude we decided NOT to purchase our things and leave. My poor grandma was very upset afterwards. Beware of this store and the lady working there yesterday afternoon around 3pm! We will NOT be going back and will not bring family there again. Sad to see this in our lovely Waxhaw!!
