After 109 years of operation, Bennies is closing on September 30, 2023. Its landlord has refused to renew its expiring lease. Those of us who live in Atlanta, as well as the many, worldwide, who learned of it due to the wide publicity it received because of its unbelievable stock (at very low prices) of the famed Johnston & Murphy Handgrades, and later, Grenson Masterpieces, will all greatly miss it. Wonderful people ran a wonderful store.

Agreed, Ken. A true loss. The shoe repair shop started in the middle of the last century blossomed into several stores offering the best men's footwear and service in the southeast. Done in by changing times, including the fact that the market for quality shoes has declined. I hope to find time to make a final pilgrimage before it closes.
