There’s a TREASURE in this Morrison County CITY: A Royalton souvenir shop has a rich 61-year history

Treasure City, located in Royalton, has been a staple souvenir shop in the community for over 60 years. Robert Janski, the shop’s owner, spoke about the history and unique offerings of this local business.

Janski recounted that in 1962, two people decided to open three Treasure City stores in three different states – one in Michigan, one in Wisconsin and one in Minnesota. Although the Wisconsin store has since closed and the Michigan store is more of a clothing store, the Minnesota Treasure City continues to thrive after 61 years, having opened its doors on April 1, 1963.

The store has lived on almost as long as Janski’s marriage, as he married his wife in Royalton on Aug. 6, 1962. He remembered seeing the framing for the building being put up on his wedding day. In 1977, 15 years later, Janski purchased the shop, becoming its owner.
