Port Huron’s District 43 shoe store is closing after five years of business near Huron and Grand River avenues. Owner Jorja Baldwin, who held a farewell sale last week, cited declining sales driven by the pandemic’s shift to online shopping. Baldwin, who valued in-person customer service, decided not to transition the business online, as most shoes are now bought directly from producers. She and her husband will now focus on their other business, Michigan Boat Company in Fort Gratiot, and enjoy more personal time.
