Meet the Owner

My name is Pat Rockaway, and I’m the owner and curator behind Retro Relics & Treats.

This store started for one simple reason: nostalgia and collecting have always mattered to me, and I wanted to share that passion with others who feel the same way.

Like a lot of collectors, my love for books, physical media, games, and obscure finds goes back to childhood. Whether it was discovering a worn paperback with history behind it, popping in a VHS tape, digging through music formats, tracking down rare or exclusive Blu-rays, or firing up a classic game console, these things weren’t just entertainment — they were experiences. Over time, that interest never really faded. If anything, it’s only grown stronger and more intentional in recent years.

Retro Relics & Treats exists as a place for people who still appreciate holding something real, owning something with a story, and revisiting the formats that shaped entire eras. I care deeply about all categories we carry — books, music, movies, games, exclusive and hard-to-find Blu-rays, and even snacks from around the world — because each one taps into memory, curiosity, and discovery in its own way.

This shop is built on trust, transparency, and excitement. Every item is sourced carefully, described honestly, and handled with respect for both the object and the person buying it. I approach this business the same way I approach my own collection: collector to collector, no shortcuts, no hype without substance.

Whether you’re hunting a specific relic, discovering a format you missed the first time around, or chasing a one-of-a-kind piece you won’t see again, I’m glad you’re here. Thanks for being part of keeping these pieces of culture alive.
