The Boardman Poland Area: A Retail and Lifestyle Hub
Treasured Moments’ location on Boardman Poland Road places it at the center of a thriving retail and entertainment district. Boardman has emerged as the retail hub of the Youngstown area, offering shoppers extensive options along Route 224. The Shops at Boardman Park anchors the district, featuring major retailers like Target, Kohl’s, TJ Maxx, Best Buy, Ulta Beauty, and JoAnn Fabrics, creating a one-stop shopping environment that draws customers from across the region. Historic Boardman Plaza, dating back to the 1950s, represents the area’s first substantial shopping alternative outside downtown Youngstown and retains its charm while serving modern shoppers.
Beyond the major commercial centers, the area offers unique shopping experiences that reflect the community’s character. The Amish Market, fully owned and operated by the Amish community, operates year-round and provides a distinctive shopping experience. Specialty shops range from vintage clothing boutiques to beloved local bakeries like Butter Maid Bakery, established in 1955. Boardman High School, with approximately 1,089 students, consistently ranks in the top tier of Ohio high schools with graduation rates between 93 and 97 percent, making it one of the region’s well-established educational institutions. The school draws families from throughout Mahoning County for prom shopping trips to nearby boutiques. Nearby Boardman Park offers recreational opportunities and year-round special events that define community life. The area’s neighborhoods including Boardman, Poland, and Mill Creek Park each offer distinct character, from suburban convenience to historic charm to natural beauty.
Years of Service and Community Trust
Operating as a family-focused business for over twenty years, Treasured Moments understands that bridal and prom shopping represents an important family milestone. The boutique’s philosophy centers on providing quality products at reasonable prices without compromising on service. Regular hours during the week (Monday through Friday 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM and Saturday 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM) accommodate most shoppers, with Sunday appointments and after-hours fittings available by arrangement. This flexibility reflects the reality that not every customer has the luxury of taking time off work for dress shopping.
