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.

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!

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.

What a wonderful place. Real, quality clothing at reasonable prices. Lots of American made, too. I ended up buying a book by a local author. Found a million local crafts I liked, but couldn't make up my mind. Had a wonderful talk with the friendly owner, whose family has owned this store for nearly a century. If you are near Marshall, come here, and visit the depot in the evening for authentic traditional music by talented musicians!

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.

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.

Make your visit to Marshall, NC complete when you stop by Penland and Sons Department store. One of the family members greeted us and shared stories of their family and the store’s history
