PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — More than a year after announcing plans to close their doors, the owners of Next Adventure in Southeast Portland said they are staying open. Deek Heykamp and Bryan Knudsen said a lot has changed since they announced retirement in 2025, like for now — the size of their operation. “Smaller is more fun for us,” Heykamp said. “And we’re going to do this because it’s the right thing to do.” The owners said for now they are focusing on their flagship location on SE Stark and Grand.
