Make time for these
Hugh is a Midtown shop for housewares, barware and gifts with a mid-century, 'Mad Men'-style look. It began as a pop-up in 2009, won the Hatch Detroit retail prize and opened its Cass Avenue store in 2012. In 2021 Pride Source listed it among Michigan's LGBTQ-owned businesses. Its website no longer resolved in September 2026, and no recent confirmation that the shop is open has been found.
