Pickleball Fever Takes Over Stores: Pickleball-themed products are everywhere this summer. From kitchen items to bed sheets, major retail stores like Target, HomeGoods, HomeSense, Home Depot, and TJ Maxx are filled with pickleball gear and décor. The rapid rise in popularity is changing what shoppers find in aisles across the country.
Across many stores, pickleball is no longer just a sport. It’s now a trend seen in nearly every section—from sports gear to household items. Retailers have taken note of the growing popularity of pickleball and are now offering a wider range of items to meet the demand.
Stores Overflow with Pickleball Gear
Target has made a big push for pickleball items. Last summer, the Prince Pickleball line was displayed right at the front of many stores. Now, the sporting goods aisles are packed with a wide variety of pickleball gear.
There are also bags, paddles, and colorful pickleballs designed for players at all levels. Shoppers can now find higher-quality gear more easily than before.
Pickleball Spreads Beyond Sports Sections
Pickleball items are not limited to sporting goods aisles. Shoppers report seeing them in unexpected places. In the kitchen aisle, for example, there are cocktail napkins with sayings like, “I’d rather be playing pickleball” and “Just dinking around.”
Pickleball-themed dish towels, serving trays, wine glasses, and mugs have also become popular. Some even spotted a sponge shaped like a pickleball.
