Davey Jones Locker has joined the growing list of businesses that have opened at the Wilton Mall. The store specializes is antiques, gifts, and collectibles.<\/p>\n

Owner Michael Davey opened the store in May after a long career in the grocery and automobile businesses. He worked as a night manager for Grand Union for 16 years before becoming a car salesman, most recently at Goldstein Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM. An entrepreneur at heart, he also operated several small businesses over the years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy first business when I was young was a limousine business that never really got off the ground,\u201d said Davey. \u201cI also had a gift shop in 1999 in downtown Ballston Spa. It was going pretty well, but the building was for sale, and someone bought the property. So, it didn\u2019t last long.\u201d<\/p>\n

For a time, he also operated Your Way Caf\u00e9 in the Momentive plant in Waterford. Finding it difficult to make a living from the business, his stint in food service proved to be short lived.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Davey said his idea for Davey Jones Locker evolved from his hobby of going to estate sales.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span>\u201cOver the past few years, I have been accumulating things that I have purchased at estate sales,\u201d he\u00a0 <\/span>noted. \u201cIt just kept piling up and piling up, and it got to the point where everyone said I was a hoarder. At the same time, I had this idea that was growing in my head to do a gift shop again but in a bigger fashion.\u201d<\/p>\n

When scouting locations, it was the Wilton Mall that proved to be the most cost effective.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was able to get a lot of space compared to what I could get in Clifton Park or anywhere else in the area,\u201d said Davey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Davey, his 3,100-square-foot store offers \u201ca little bit of everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have antiques, collectibles, decorative accessories, furniture items, greeting cards, and every day gifts. I specialize in old-fashioned trunks, and I have a lot of unique gifts that you aren\u2019t going to find anywhere else,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The store also features nautical-themed items, Disney collectibles, and Adirondack d\u00e9cor. Although much of the inventory comes from estate sales, brand-new merchandise is also available. Offerings include decorative pillows, hoodies, blankets, hats, and jewelry.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of my very popular sections is my Hollywood collectibles section. It includes cards and autographs and pictures and things like that,\u201d Davey said. \u201cPeople really love it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The store\u2019s Around the World section is his personal favorite.\u00a0 <\/span>The section features a variety of merchandise including carved items from South America and Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also have framed artwork throughout the store. I have many unique framed artwork pieces that are inexpensive to buy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Although foot traffic has been a bit slow, Davey said he has been getting a lot of positive feedback from customers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPeople really love the store. Our slogan is \u201cFind Your Treasure,\u201d and people can come in and find treasure for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n
