After 110 years, Bay Ridge shoe store Kruchkow’s closes its doors
A Bay Ridge fixture has said goodbye after over a century in business. Kruchkow’s Shoe Store, 7808 Fifth Avenue, has shut up shop. Behind the pulled-down gates, the signs read, “Closed” and “To all our loyal customers, thank you for 110 wonderful years.” The store was family-owned and most recently run by Seth Kruchkow, who had been active with the Bay Ridge Fifth Avenue
