Park Street Consignment

My name is Emilio Petrillo and I have recently opened  my first consignment store,  Park Street CONSIGNMENTS,  located at 36 Park Street in Medfield, Massachusetts.

I grew up in Roslindale, MA  and then moved to Norwood, MA.  I have been in the retail business for the past 25 years working for such stores as Filenes, Bloomingdales and Sak's.

For many years it has been a dream of mine to open a consignment shop, in the perfect location.  When a space became available at the Park Street Station building in Medfield, I knew I found the perfect home for my first store.

I believe my store is different in not only do I have gently worn clothing, but I also have new, designer clothing at discounted prices.  I currently have many of these higher end  items at 30 % to 50% off the original ticket prices.  I also have a Home Decor area, as well as, Men's and Young Men's clothing that I hope to expand.

Consigning is one of the fast growing trends in the United States.  It allows the owner of an item, the consignor,  to sell an item, such as a dress bought for a special occasion, that they no longer have a need for or do not plan to wear again, to place the item in a store while still maintaining ownership until the item is sold.    The final sales price of the item is split between the consignment shop and the owner, the consignor.  Items are placed  in a shop for a period of time and discounted every thirty days until sold.   We will typically offer a 90 day period.

I am now accepting Fall/Winter consignments for Womens, Misses and Junior Departments, as well as Handbags, Jewelry and  Accessories.  Mens' and Young Men's clothes are also being accepted.

Clothing should be clean and  in excellent condition free of rips, stains or tears.

I will always be looking for unique, decorative items for our Home Decor Department such as antiques,

vases, small furniture, wall hangings, mirrors, lamps, ect...

Any specialty shops that would like to consign their items are also welcomed.
