Rocky's Great Outdoors In Burton Is Closing

It's the end of an era, Rocky's Great Outdoors in Burton is closing.

Paul 'Rocky' Roll opened Rocky's back in 1971 as a motorcycle parts and accessories shop. After 20 years, the store expanded by selling outdoor gear. Mr. Roll passed away in 2024, but his legacy continued to live on at Rocky's Great Outdoors.

Fast forward to 2026: after 55 years in business, the store will soon begin its liquidation process.

When is Rocky's Great Outdoors in Burton closing?

No official date has been announced yet.

We do know that Rocky’s will be closed today, Friday, February 6, 2026, and will reopen tomorrow, Saturday, February 7, 2026, to begin the liquidation sale.

Sales will begin with discounts ranging from 10% to 30% off until everything is sold. According to what I’ve been told, the in-store motorcycles will be auctioned off.

I truly wish everyone involved nothing but the best. My thoughts especially go out to the employees, who have been a vital part of Rocky’s Great Outdoors over the years, and I hope they find success in whatever comes next.

Rocky's posted the following message via social media as the 'store closing' sign was going up,

It’s a bittersweet day for us. You may have seen this photo circulating of the signs going up, and while it’s hard to say goodbye, we’re incredibly grateful for all the love and support you’ve shown us over the years.

Thank you, Rocky's Great Outdoors - you will be missed.
