If you’ve ever strolled the streets of downtown Port Huron you may be familiar with the small retail shop, A Little Something, after serving the local area for over a decade they are expecting to close their doors permanently next month.
A Little Something carries retail items such as coffee mugs, t-shirts, and novelty items, but they are most known for their ice cream and sweet treats.
Owned by non-profit Touchstone Services, A Little Something also provided employment for individuals who face employment barriers due to certain disabilities or other challenges.
In 2020 the retail shop became a vendor in the Pine Grove Park concessions facility serving its famous ice cream along with snacks such as: hotdogs, potato chips, and beverages. They’ll be continuing their operation in the park space this year.
The closing of the shop is due to an economic slump which has been affecting many small business owners in the downtown area.
