Vintage shopping is a bit like a treasure hunt, which is why the Akron/Summit Convention & Visitors Bureau launched the Treasure Trail. The shopping passport includes 20 retro, vintage and thrift stores throughout Summit County. Shop for one-of-a-kind finds to earn a stamp. Earn enough stamps and a prize is yours!

But hurry up. Shoppers only have one more month to complete the thrift store Treasure Trail. The deadline to fill up your passports is Friday, Sept. 5, 2025.

Find all the information you need to complete your passport below.

How To Get Started — Or Reach the Finish Line

If you haven’t picked up your passport yet, simply head to any of the 20 participating shops to get your free copy. (A digital version is also available.) Make a purchase and you’ll receive a stamp. It’s that easy! 

Complete your passport by collecting at least 16 stamps. Submit your finished booklet or digital copy to ASCVB (77 E. Mill St.) by Sept. 5 for a prize: a Treasure Trail canvas tote bag, plus an entry into the grand prize drawing for the Treasure Trail Gift Package ($250 value, available to those 18 and older).

Embark on a journey to some of the top vintage, antique and thrift stores in Akron, Ohio, and Summit County. Along the way, you’ll discover unique clothing, mid-century modern furniture, home goods, records, gifts and more. Shop ‘til you drop at these 20 participating boutiques: 

Need a break along the way? Refuel at one of the area’s local restaurants.
