Penland & Sons Department Store

Superrrr cute store, must stop by if you’re in Marshall! The owner was very kind and helpful and everything is super cute. Really fun to look at everything, including all the vintage pieces on top of the shelves and throughout the store (but aren’t for sale). Got a hate and some really nice honey chapsticks. Cash or check only!

While exploring shops on Main Street in Marshall, North Carolina, my brother and I discovered Penland & Sons Department Store. The store has been in business more than 100 years. There are window displays on the left and right of the double-doors entrance.

After entering, we were politely greeted by a woman clerk who explained the history and her family connection.

I walked all around the aisles and looked at many items for sale. On the upper top shelves of the wooden display cabinets are interesting memorabilia and one-of-a-kind antiques. The large interior seems even larger because of the very high ceiling.

My brother purchased an old panoramic photograph of Marshall. He later told me he had to pay cash because Penland & Sons Department Store does not accept credit or debit cards.

While many businesses in the small town of Marshall close at 3 or 4 PM, Penland & Sons Department Store opens at 9 AM and closes at 5 PM. It is closed on Sundays.

3rd generation owner. She was amazing and was amazing to talk to. She let us try horehound candy. We will be going back. Should t miss this place.

Highlight of my trip to North Carolina was visiting this store. Like you’ve entered another era. Unique North Carolina made clothing and gifts that are reasonably priced. Owner was wonderful. Wish there were more places like this.

Excellent service and the added touch a family history that extends 100+ years. The very kind sales person shared Madison County History from a family’s history which left me so intrigued. Also excellent collection of books which covers Madison County History.

One of the owners of this pleasant welcoming store went out of her way to pickup a special order for me. They care about their customers! I’ll be back many times.

It's Mast General Store before it was a chain. Good selection of items not usually found in department stores. Super people and locally made jams and pickles stock the shelves. Another reason to stroll downtown Marshall.

Great place to buy sourwood honey not to mention Christmas gifts, local books, boots, carhartt merchandise and rada cutlery. Friendly local family owned business.

Great store with fantastic products!!!
