It is with heavy hearts that we announce the closure of Rugger's Up and Under. After much consideration, we have made the difficult to permanently close our doors on March 15, 2025.... We want to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who has supported us oover the years - our loyal customers, dedicated employees, the Kalamazoo Rugby Clubs, and the incredible community we have been privileged to serve.
