Ann Arbor says goodbye to Kilwins after 42 years

Kilwins on Liberty Street has served its last caramel apple, closing its doors after 42 years in Ann Arbor. For many, this spot was more than a dessert shop—it was a place where first jobs were landed, friendships formed, and local legends like Shakey Jake dropped by daily. Owner Chera Tramontin says changing downtown culture and corporate shifts made it time to move on. She’s now opening Blue Monk Studio, a yoga space downtown. What’s your favorite Kilwins memory, and how do you feel about the changing face of Ann Arbor’s local businesses? #Food #AnnArbor #Kilwins
