I have merged the Rutabaga CLOSING and later STAYING OPEN threads into this one thread.
Rutabaga Paddlesports in Madison, Wisconsin, is Closing (NO - Staying Open)
- Thread starter Glenn MacGrady
- Start date
I think Daren is selling the company now, so it will remain open, yay!

His email last night pushes selling inventory and notes he is looking for a buyer. Several prospects it seems, but no deal yet.
My favorite store in the world.
if I was 40 I’d buy it myself. I love Madison and the rivers of Wisconsin are good paddling.

another person(s) who will value this business and its customers highly. I have so much respect for Daren and his wife. Can anyone provide an update on Rutabaga's situation?

It's too bad but he tried selling it for a year and nothing worked out.
What a shame. Great location for a canoe shop. I’ve bought several canoes there. I hope everyone working there gets a soft landing. The Dayton paddling shop I used also closed a while back. The owner there also expressed a desire to get his life back, to actually enjoy a vacation with his family. Good canoe shops are getting scarce.
