This is such a cool store! Lots of interesting things here, including old fashioned candy, soda, a coffee cafe/bar, teas, decor. Definitely a fun place to stop and browse!

They didn't have a shirt that I wanted in my size so they made me one ❤️ They are so nice and I love their store. If you're looking for some Christmas gifts, it's a great place to stop by!!

Such a great addition to downtown Huntsville! If you are having a hard time buying a gift for someone, come here. They have such a neat variety of kitchen goodies, old classic toys, outdoor name brand clothing. It has almost a Cracker Barrel country store vibe to it. The staff are very nice and helpful. Worth checking out if you are in the area

Very nice store. My mother spends a lot of time there. If one is into an old town feeling, this is the store for you. It is very organized and clean. Price is about average for the merchandise they sell. One could probably find much cheaper of a price if you are willing to go out of your way and find it. They have a wide selection of antiques and old school decorations. I give it five stars because the staff is fantastic and how clean/organized the store is.

Great shop downtown with a old timey feel. Cute and affordable Huntsville specific gifts but also some great little niche items too. Awesome kitchen section, candles, vintage candies, kids toys, and outdoor apparel. Pendleton, Woolrich, Patagonia, and more brands.

Awesome place. Looks a lot like the original store in Athens. Very fun, great atmosphere. I love going there for the hardware and the vintage feel.My wife and I will be back! Hopefully someday I'll have enough money to buy some of their hiking gear. lol

Tons of atmosphere. Kind of nails the we-sell-everything Mercantile vibe. Knives and clothes and candy and kitchenware. Plus some weird kitsch from yesteryear. I like to bring out-of-town visitors here.

Old country store meets new city retail.As a firm believer in craftsmanship and classic styles, UG White is like a heaven on earth. It's appointed to look like a general store from the late 19th century, complete with camping and outdoor gear. Go upstairs and find some of the most sought-after brands in men's and women's clothing.It's a great store run by some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. A welcome and vital addition to downtown Huntsville.

We're so happy to have this gen store located in downtown Huntsville! It has a little bit of everything, including nostalgia. Just a short walk from Belk Hudson and The Avenue.

A nicely designed and laid out locally owned shop downtown. Some things are a tad pricey while others are of a great price. Good mix of merchandise.

They have everything from clothes to cookware to candy, and lots of friendly, small town Southern charm. An updated version of an old time hardware store.

Always go here when we are showing out of town friends what to do in Huntsville. Honestly, any place with a dedicated Lodge cast iron section holds a special place in my heart

Sadly this location closed after a fire caused serious issues a while back. I believe their Athens location is still open.
