TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) - A 7th Street mainstay in Terre Haute will soon close its doors. Sarge's Shoe Repair is going out of business.

Owner Brad Smith has been at this same spot for 23 years. With the need for shoe repair declining nationwide, he told us it's time to do something else.
"I'm going to miss the people. I've beat up on soles long enough," Smith told us.
