Though supposedly its NOT because of business- the owners just wanted to retire. http://www.detnews.com/apps/pb cs.dll/article?AID=/20090220/B IZ/902200395/&imw=Y Its sad- when i was a kid and played little league in River Rouge- our "Jerseys" were Adray Appliance t-shirts, heh. |

This is sad. This was the best place to buy a camera. The salesmen really knew their stuff when you had questions about cameras & photos. Hope they can keep their business alive in a smaller location. |

Very sad indeed. Yet another small specialty store with a very knowledgeable staff, to be replaced by a big box store staffed by pimply teenagers who know absolutely nothing about the products they sell. |

Not to point fingers, but money spent purchasing on the net doesn't pay much for local schools. When a local business goes down, the community suffers. |

Beyond just the stuff that they sold, what I'll always remember is all of the kids sports teams they sponsored over the years. How many little leaguers or pee wee hockey teams sported an Adray logo across their chest? They'll be missed on many levels. |
