The Rocket Centre has been up for sale since the beginning of the year, without success.
They are closing down late November, if there’s anything left in stock
This is the empty building that’s up for rent and nothing else.
Yes, I was having a look around two or three weeks ago, and thought the stock seemed to be pretty thinly spread out compared to a couple of years ago.They are closing down late November, if there’s anything left in stock

Now not even open Saturdays and Sundays.
How they could make it pay with those expenses is beyond me.
By contrast, been in nearby Philip Youles (Triumph/Suzuki/Scooters) today, showroom packed out with stock, same at their Manchester store.
On the surface, seems to be doing OK.

This place wasn’t about making a fortune. It was a labour of love for the owner, who was already a very wealthy individual. It’s a shame that it’s going and a couple of dozen people losing their jobs due to a ridiculous tax burden being placed on the business. Now not even open Saturdays and Sundays.

Sad when any business closes, especially for the staff.

Anyone know if there is a replacement dealer planned for the local area,
Next nearest is Dewsbury and Colwyn Bay, which although the distance is not an issue getting the time can be.
Drop of at Rocket Centre in the morn and into work to collect in the afternoon was and is the preferred option for service and repairs.
