COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The Wilbur’s Furniture building at the corner of West Chicago and Monroe has been purchased.
Jim Brauker of Coldwater said on his Facebook page that he closed on the buildings last week with his Real Estate agent and sister Robin Brauker Walling.
Brauker has also purchased ten Diamond pool tables from Seybert’s Billiard Supply. He says they will be delivered in March and they hope to be opening up Jim’s Place for pool in the spring of 2022.
A portion of the building was formerly occupied by the Corona Smoke Shop which opened in early March 2020 but tobacco stores and smoke shops in Michigan were forced to shut down a few weeks later under one of Governor Whitmer’s Executive Orders that were issued due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The smoke shop closed for good in April 2021 after being open just on Saturdays.
The Wilbur’s Furniture store closed in the fall of 2018 when the owners retired. Wilber’s had been in business for 101 years.
