"The consumer world now is driven by price and not by good old fashioned salesmanship and knowing the person you are buying from and trusting that no matter what they will take care of you, and that is what Ehnis and Sons was built on for over 90 years. I am very proud of my family for being an institution of Ann Arbor and being able to change with the times when you still could (i.e. changing from horse shoe and saddle repair to work clothes and boots among many others)… Thank you once again from the bottom of my heart." —Bryan John Ehnis

In 2006, Ehnis & Sons closed its doors and sold the building. The building was gutted and renovated. The storefront made available for sale. The upstairs converted into a loft. Tough times in Michigan left the space on the market for over a year. New tenants — a restaurant — were found in October 2008. These signs are all that is left of the old place, found in the walls and basement during demolition. c 1940s.
