Indoor pickleball facility provider and franchisor Pickleball Kingdom has announced news of their latest franchisées.

Sam and Jami Zolt bring a deep-seated passion for pickleball and a shared objective of nurturing a lively pickleball community in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

Substantial Demand

The choice to extend operations to Murfreesboro is a direct response to the substantial demand for pickleball facilities and programs in the area. Sam and Jami, who are pickleball enthusiasts themselves, discerned this surge in popularity and identified an opportunity to address the needs of their local community.

Ace Rodrigues, CEO of Pickleball Kingdom, was characteristically enthusiastic about the new location, stating, “This expansion into Murfreesboro is a testament to the incredible growth of pickleball on a local and national level. Tennessee has been on our radar, and I’m thrilled that we’re developing this territory with the Zolts.

When I first started writing about pickleball, I hadn't appreciated the huge range of related features it encompasses: from building communities and players fighting against court closures to overcoming health challenges and raising money for charity, it's a whole new world! I love the stories about the smaller towns from the farthest-flung corners of the U.S. and how those residents have adopted pickleball to create friendships and community spirit.
