After nearly 60 years, Dearborn’s Lile’s Ham Shop bids farewell to loyal customers

After nearly 60 years, Lile’s Ham Shop in Dearborn is closing its doors, and the owner, Harry Lile, and staff are bidding farewell to loyal customers.

Drove by Lile's many times as a teen in the 70s headed toward Tiger Stadium from Wayne on Michigan Ave. I wish we would have stopped in. Looks like some great sandwiches. All the Best!

I worked at the Fairlane Ford shop next door and sometimes they'd buy us breakfast from here, good stuff.

Why do all the good places close?

[@erich6860]

Because good places tend to have good owners, and good owners tend to not be greedy and ruin their product. I have a favorite Chinese restaurant I get in Warren, on 9 mile. Just the sweetest lady and her husband run it. She is down to take out only from 5pm-9pm. I've been spoiled. When they close, I have no idea what I'm going to do.
