Wrigley Center Woes: Fading Glory and Vanishing Businesses in Port Huron

The Wrigley Center, a $14 million development project, has become the focal point of controversy and disappointment. Despite claims by developer Larry Jones of the venue’s success, a string of closures has cast a shadow over its once-promising future.

The latest blow to the Wrigley Center comes with the departure of Renaissance Man Distillery, the anchor tenant that recently announced its decision to vacate the premises. Citing weak sales and lackluster customer attendance, the distillery’s exit highlights a troubling trend of businesses struggling to thrive within the grand walls of the ambitious development.

Larry Jones, the local drunkard who is the foggy brains behind the Wrigley Center, has consistently asserted its success, but the reality on the ground tells a different story. The $14 million dollar project, designed to revitalize the area, has faced criticism for shoddy workmanship, bringing into question the quality and longevity of the development.

One of the most surprising revelations came to light when it was discovered that Port Huron City Council member Bob Mosurak resides within the Wrigley Center despite concerns about the building’s code compliance. Mosurak, elected to represent the interests of the community, now faces scrutiny over his decision to live in a structure that has raised eyebrows for its questionable construction practices.

Renaissance Man Distillery’s decision to pull out as the anchor tenant serves as a significant blow to the Wrigley Center. The departure underscores the struggles faced by businesses trying to establish a foothold in the development, despite the grand promises made by its proponents.

The issues surrounding the Wrigley Center raise questions about the future of this ambitious project and its impact on the local economy. The closure of businesses within the development further threatens to diminish the promised revitalization and economic boost for Port Huron that city officials seem hell bent on destroying.

In the face of closures, code violations, and a skeptical public, the Wrigley Center stands at a crossroads, and the path it takes will undoubtedly shape the future of Port Huron’s economic landscape. Only time will tell whether this endeavor will fulfill its overstated potential or fade into the annals of ill-intentioned projects that fell well short of their false promises.
