Inside Bulloch Business with Jan Moore - Sad to see Statesboro Mall end Leon's lease
LEONS 01
Leon Shelkoff is shown inside his store in the Statesboro Mall in this Herald file photo from 2009.
I was saddened several weeks ago when Leon Shelkoff called to tell me that his store, Leon's Menswear in the Statesboro Mall, would close at the end of 2012. Documentation provided to me by Shelkoff showed the owners of the mall - Hull Storey Gibson Companies, LLC - had called Shelkoff's lease requiring him to vacate the premises by January 6, 2013. I became acquainted with Shelkoff several years ago when I did an article on Leon's.
