Treasure Box is a new  “antique and vintage mini-mall’’ located at the Medway Plaza Shopping Center, to the right of the main entrance.

The 2,000 square foot shop opened in December and is owned by Sully and David Dang who are New England locals.

“We are family-operated, and you’ll often see our little ones visiting us in the store,” said Sully. “We’re a true ‘mom and pop’ shop.”

Between the two owners, they have more than 40 years of experience in collectibles and memorabilia, and both have business backgrounds.

“We have been selling online for many years, then we decided to go brick-and-mortar because we think the best way to get people interested in an item is to get it into their hands,” said Sully, noting the COVID-19 pandemic affected both her and David’s previous employment so they decided to take on this new adventure.

“We both grew up antiquing and thrifting with our parents and digging for treasures,” said David.

The shop includes space for over 30 individual vendors who feature antiques, art (from local artists), books, coins, collectibles, curios, jewelry, sports memorabilia, toys and games, trading cards, limited clothing items, and much more. All items are handmade, vintage or antique and are consigned or donated.

As you walk into the store, you encounter several glass display cabinets, items for sale on the walls, and traditional vendor booths. There is also a black bookcase that features various items Sully pulls from each vendor to create a temporary seasonal display. 

After you pass the front half featuring the iconic ‘treasure’ chest from the 1800s, you’ll enter the second half of the sprawling shop.

Since Treasure Box opened this past December, there are only a few rental spaces left, including a booth, individual locked shelves, and one wall space to hang items.

“We get to know our vendors really well, and we’re able to promote them through traditional sources and our social media,” said David, noting that personal touch can be difficult for large antique mills and shops.

“And we are selective about the types of vendors and items we incorporate,” said Sully. “We don’t want to create competition between vendors within the store. At the moment we’re specifically looking for a vintage toy vendor and coin/stamp vendor. ”

Treasure Box also accepts donated items, including decor, cards, comics, men’s and women’s accessories, clothing, small housewares, collectibles, memorabilia, vintage toys, old records and more.  They do not accept textiles, and are very selective on furniture given the space available in the shop. 

Donated jewelry is bagged and put inside the antique “Treasure Box” and sold for $4 per grab bag. “You never know what treasure you’ll find in there, that’s part of what makes it fun.”

They also offer consignment and house calls.

“If people would like the freedom of mind from pricing, setting up and selling, consignment is a great idea. Sometimes people just have a few items and it’s more economical to consign.”

In general, Sully says prices at Treasure Box are very competitive. “Because of the independent vendors, the pricing runs the gamut, we have something in every price range.”

The store, located to the right as you drive into the main entrance to the Medway Shopping Center, is kid-friendly and ADA-friendly with wide uncluttered aisles that are easy to maneuver.

They accept all forms of payment (cash, check, credit cards, Venmo, and Apple Pay). They offer gift certificates as well, and are also offering a free gift with purchase if you mention this article, while supplies last.
