Kositchek’s Closing After 158 Years

Kositchek’s, Lansing’s beloved menswear staple since 1865, is closing permanently after a devastating 2024 storm collapsed its roof — and nearly two years of recovery proved too much. The family-owned store, now run by David Kositchek, great-grandson of the founder, sent a heartfelt farewell to loyal customers, thanking them for decades of friendship and support. With store credit and gift certificates still active, they’re urging patrons to email or mail details by July 31st for refunds — a process that’ll take time. It’s not just a store closing — it’s the end of a downtown Lansing institution with roots stretching back over 150 years. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
