Manistique, MI – Treasure City, a beloved local retailer, is thrilled to commemorate its
40th anniversary. Since its inception in June 1984, the store has evolved from a small
souvenir shop into a vibrant retail destination, offering a diverse range of products from
apparel and food to home décor and unique gifts.
Originally founded by Bob, Betty, Terry Knoph, and Kathy Skok, Treasure City has been
a family-run business and four generations have worked at the store. Even today, Betty,
in her 90s, continues to show her dedication to the store by requesting daily updates on
its progress. In 2004, ownership transitioned to Kathy Skok and her husband Brian. The
store’s continuing success is attributed to the dedicated efforts of Kathy, Debbie Hase
and Sherri Toennessen, who have been instrumental in managing the store. Ashley
Johnson, Sherri’s daughter, is now a key player in the day-to-day operations of the
store. Plus, Brian has been helpful in supporting the business, from maintaining the
property to assisting with various tasks.
Over the years, Treasure City has become a popular shopping destination for locals and
visitors alike, drawing customers from across Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, and the
Upper Peninsula. Treasure City's commitment to providing unique, high-quality products has made it a preferred shopping destination for many customers who return year after year.
Treasure City has also been featured on the Travel Channel and Under the Radar show,
further highlighting its unique appeal and drawing national attention.
In recent years, Treasure City has expanded its offerings to include its own label on
canned and baked goods, as well as custom gift baskets. Additionally, the business has
ventured into new retail spaces with the opening of Traders Bob and True North
locations in the Trader’s Point Retail area.
“We are incredibly grateful for the support of our community and customers over the
past 40 years,” said Kathy Skok, owner of Treasure City. “We strive to provide a unique
shopping experience and offer products that our customers love. By carefully
considering factors like cost and uniqueness, we aim to create a store that stands out
from the crowd.”
Victoria George, Executive Director of Schoolcraft Tourism & Commerce (STC),
expressed her appreciation for Treasure City’s contribution to the community: “We are
fortunate to have such an amazing business in our community for 40 years. Treasure
City has created job opportunities and provided a fantastic shopping experience for both residents and tourists. We look forward to many more years of success.”
As Treasure City enters its fifth decade, the store remains committed to providing
exceptional customer service and offering a wide range of products that cater to diverse
tastes.
