The Picklr, the leading indoor pickleball facility in the United States, headquartered in Kaysville, Utah, has unveiled plans to expand its presence with thirty new locations spanning four states and the District of Columbia.
Substantial Growth
This development, coupled with the 80 franchises announced earlier in September, brings the total number of Picklr franchises to 110. The expansion will introduce Picklr facilities to North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
This substantial growth not only enlarges the roster of franchisees within an already robust and diverse ownership group but also means The Picklr will have a presence in over one-third of states nationwide.
The breakdown of the 30 new locations is as follows:
– North Carolina (six locations)
– South Carolina (nine locations)
– Tennessee (three locations in Nashville)
– Virginia (10 locations)
– Washington, D.C. (two locations)
Suitable Locations
By the conclusion of 2023, The Picklr anticipates having seven operational facilities, five under active construction, and 10 new leases secured, resulting in an aggregate of over 100 new courts.
This solidifies its standing as one of the premier pickleball facilities in the U.S., with projections to establish more than 300 courts across the country by the end of 2024. The Picklr is currently in the process of identifying suitable locations for its new establishments and invites property owners with available leases to get in touch.
Austin Wood, Co-Founder of The Picklr, expressed, “When we first envisioned The Picklr, we knew we were onto something special. However, seeing it grow to over 100 franchises so quickly is beyond our wildest dreams.
“The demand for new locations signifies that the pickleball community embraces what we’re creating.
“This is just the beginning; we’re ready and excited to introduce even more players to the incredible world of The Picklr.”
Rapid Growth
Jorge Barragan, Co-Founder and CEO of The Pickler, added, “The rapid growth of The Picklr franchises is a testament to the incredible demand for a top-tier Pickleball experience.
We’re not just expanding our footprint—we are creating a movement. This milestone of over 100 franchises sold affirms that The Picklr is fulfilling a vital need to provide courts to pickleball communities across the county. We take our responsibility to be at the forefront of this movement seriously, and we’re committed to providing the very best to our franchisees and the communities they serve.”
