The Picklr Celebrates 50 Locations

The Picklr, North America's fastest-growing indoor pickleball franchise, is making headlines as it opens its 50th location in Littleton, Colorado, on September 6th. This achievement marks a significant milestone not only for the franchise but also for the growing popularity of pickleball as a sport across the continent. The grand opening event will feature a professional exhibition match showcasing the talents of some of the top players in the world, including Anna Bright, Hayden Patriquin, Michael Loyd, and Kyle Yates.

In the world of franchising, reaching the 50-location mark is quite rare. According to industry statistics, only about 11% of franchise brands manage to operate between 25-50 units, and less than 20% surpass 100 units. Therefore, The Picklr’s rapid expansion places it among the elite ranks of franchise systems that have demonstrated significant scalability and appeal. This tremendous growth aligns perfectly with the burgeoning pickleball movement in the United States, allowing more enthusiasts to participate in this exciting sport.

Celebration and Community Engagement

To commemorate this significant achievement, The Picklr is hosting a grand opening event that promises to be memorable. The event, open to the public, will commence at 11 a.m. and last until 4 p.m., featuring a variety of activities, such as:

• - All-Day Open Play: Attendees can enjoy casual games on various courts.
• - Juniors Open Play: A dedicated space for younger players to engage in the sport.
• - “Challenge a Pro”: A unique opportunity to play against top professional players for a chance to win lifetime memberships.
• - Raffles and Giveaways: Patrons stand a chance to win free paddles, balls, memberships, and gift cards.
• - Catered Food and Drinks: Attendees can also indulge in delicious food and refreshments throughout the day.

Jennifer Winder, the owner of The Picklr in Littleton, shared her excitement about this milestone. She emphasizes the collaborative effort that went into building the team and the community environment at the new location. “Opening the 50th Picklr is a dream realized for me as an entrepreneur and a huge milestone for the brand,” Winder said. “Partnering with The Picklr has been the best decision I could have made.”

State-of-the-Art Facilities

The Littleton location boasts state-of-the-art facilities featuring 12 oversized, fully fenced indoor courts. With patent-pending high-quality surfacing designed for optimal performance, players of all levels can enjoy a top-tier playing experience. In addition to courts, the club also includes a full pro shop, warmup space, and two private event spaces, serving not only as a sporting venue but also as a community hub for pickleball enthusiasts.

Future Expansion Plans

Looking ahead, The Picklr is not slowing down. With a well-defined development pipeline, the franchise is set to open 20 or more additional clubs by the end of 2025, along with ambitions for another 300 locations globally in the coming years. The aim is to continue delivering unparalleled pickleball experiences to new communities, further solidifying its position as the leader in the indoor pickleball market.
