RETAILER PROFILE
Oropa serves as a seaside haven
where people can gather and shop.
BY ELLEN WAGNER

E
ver since its Earth Day opening in 2016,
Oropa has aimed to provide eco-friendly and
socially responsible products
Massachusetts.
" Oropa " comes from the Sanctuary of Oropa in
Biella, Italy, a World Heritage UNESCO site in Northern
Italy where owner Sandra Meiggs' mother was born.
Meiggs has been visiting the sanctuary her whole life,
and 800,000 people make the pilgrimage annually.
" It's a very magical space in the world, and I wanted
to draw from that inspiration and create a little magic
in Duxbury, " Meiggs said.
After doing voiceover work for years, Meiggs
wanted to move from a solitary job in a studio to a job
where she could be out interacting with people, and
was inspired to create a magical place in town where
people could meet and gather.
Meiggs discovered the retail location when a coffee
shop closed in Duxbury Marketplace, so she first
opened Oropa as a boutique and coffee shop. When
the COVID pandemic began, she closed the coffee shop
portion of her shop and focused solely on gifts.
" Although you can't sit around and drink a cup of
coffee in there anymore, I like to think of Oropa as the
happy, welcoming store in town, " Meiggs said.
Located in a coastal community in Massachusetts
on the South Shore, Meiggs looks for high-quality
products that are environmentally friendly or support
