New spot spells success for Mr. Darby's Antique Mall

BOARDMAN

Just a few weeks after moving to a location in the township, the owner of Mr. Darby’s Antique Mall is astounded by the positive response from customers.

“Our sales were up 62 percent from before we even opened,” said Robert Neapolitan, who opened the business about five years ago in North Lima. He recently moved to an upgraded site at 8574 Market St., next to Antone’s Banquet Centre.

He attributes that success so far to “location, location, location.”

Though Mr. Darby’s is new to Boardman, Neapolitan and his family are not. He, his father and grandfather all previously owned businesses in the township, and Neapolitan, a Boardman High School graduate, lives here. His mother, Alma; wife, Karen, and two children help run the business as well.
