Pickleball Kingdom in Plano, North Texas, under the guidance of Dallas-based commercial real estate developer Dan Jenkins, is on the verge of unveiling the state’s largest dedicated indoor pickleball facility.
This establishment, boasting 15 indoor courts alongside outdoor surfaces, is poised to have a significant impact on the North Texas pickleball scene when it debuts in January 2024.
Convenient Facilities
In collaboration with the Pickleball Kingdom franchise network headquartered in Chandler, AZ, Jenkins has secured rights to establish and manage five locations throughout North Texas, encompassing Plano, Keller, and three other sites.
The franchise is dedicated to providing convenient facilities within a 10-15 minute radius of North Texas communities as part of their commitment to fostering pickleball growth.
Initially faced with the challenge of finding a location spanning at least 40,000 square feet, the Pickleball Kingdom team’s search led them to a vacant anchor store.
The building owner, sharing a passion for pickleball, enthusiastically endorsed Pickleball Kingdom’s vision and recognized the potential for revitalizing the available space.
Lifelong Affinity
Reflecting on his lifelong affinity for the sport, Jenkins, also known as Papa Pickle and the Chief Visionary Officer, expressed his excitement for these developments.
“Since my childhood days of playing pickleball at camp, my love for this sport has been a lifelong companion. It’s a game that brings people together, creates lasting bonds, and fuels a passion that never fades,” he said.
“As we prepare to open the largest indoor pickleball facility in Plano, we invite our friends and neighbors into a world of excitement, community, and healthy competition.
I can’t wait to see players of all ages and levels come together to become a part of the Kingdom experience because ‘life is better with pickleball’!”

The PK Plano facility, featuring a state-of-the-art 15-court indoor setup at 1301 Custer Road, Plano, TX, 75045, will offer year-round play along with the following amenities:
