Indoor pickleball franchise Pickleball Kingdom has announced a number of locations planned for existing and new markets.
On August 12, the franchise announced further expansion into Tennessee with two new premier indoor pickleball facilities to be built in Chattanooga and Memphis.
Then on August 14, the franchise announced 19 locations planned for Indiana.
This news follows a July 31 announcement detailing the brand is expanding into Yakima, Washington.
Another significant expansion announcement came on July 18, with the brand announcing 15 locations along the East coast of Florida. Earlier in July, locations were also announced in Appleton, Wisconsin; Louisville, Kentucky; Poulsbo, Washington; and across North Carolina.
Growth is fueled by a number of franchise groups, such as Pickleball X Equity, operated by Sanjay Patel and Dhaval Patel.
“Sanjay and Dhaval’s vision and dedication are truly commendable, and their leadership will ensure these new locations provide top-tier pickleball experiences for all players,” said Ace Rodrigues, the founder of Pickleball Kingdom, in a statement.
Pickleball Kingdom locations boast state-of-the-art indoor courts, professional coaching and clinics, youth programming, leagues and tournaments, and community and corporate events.
As of June 2024, the brand had over 140 locations planned in the U.S. and recently signed a deal with Franchise India Group to bring locations to India and Abu Dhabi.
