Dittrich Furs to Close After 132 Years as 70% Off Liquidation Draws Crowds

Owners cite retirement to focus on family health, prompting a liquidation that runs through April 30.

Overview

  • The fifth-generation retailer will shutter its Midtown Detroit location on April 30, 2026 after more than a century in business.
  • The retirement sale features more than $9 million in inventory at 70% off, with lines down the block and racks quickly emptied.
  • After an early sell-through, the store will restock during the sale, with new merchandise expected around Feb. 6 and updates to be posted online.
  • Co-owner Jason Dittrich says he and his brother are closing to spend more time with family and prioritize health.
  • The company had consolidated into its Midtown site after closing a second Oakland County location three years ago, as Detroit’s furrier ranks dwindled.
