After nearly sixty years as Ann Arbor's premier purveyor of fine china and crystal, and for decades the first stop for many Ann Arborites looking for the perfect, high-end gift, the John Leidy Shop planned to close its doors for the last time at the end of February. It's the latest small, family-owned Ann Arbor business to fall victim to a rapidly changing retail environment.
