State-of-the-Art Facilities in the Works
Pickleball Kingdom is actively searching for the best location within Greater Atlanta to provide players with a premier indoor experience. The facility will feature climate-controlled courts, comfortable lounge areas, and training programs for all skill levels. The new club will also offer structured leagues, tournaments, and youth development programs.
“We truly believe Atlanta is missing this in its fabric today, and the fact that we have the chance to bring it home is priceless. I think we are done working—and what I mean by that is, when you love what you do, they say it won’t feel like work! That’s the most exciting part about this.” – (Manisha Panjwani)
Addressing a Key Community Need
The vision for the facility came from a clear gap in the area’s pickleball landscape. Khurram Thobhani, a passionate player, noticed the lack of indoor courts available, especially during rainy weekends.
“The idea came to me firsthand after countless rainy weekends where I just couldn’t find an indoor court to play. It dawned on me—here’s a clear need, which in business translates to an opportunity. By bringing Pickleball Kingdom to North Atlanta, we are giving the community exactly what it needs—an indoor space to play whenever you want, rain or shine, with friends, neighbors, and fellow pickleball enthusiasts.” – (Khurram Thobhani)
A Community-Driven Expansion
The expansion aligns with Pickleball Kingdom’s mission to create a welcoming and dynamic environment for players of all levels. Rob Streett, COO of Pickleball Kingdom, expressed confidence in Thobhani and Panjwani’s leadership.
“We’re excited to have Khurram and Manisha join our growing family of franchisees. Their leadership and dedication to growing the sport will help make Pickleball Kingdom a key part of the local community.” – (Rob Streett)
As first-generation Americans, Thobhani and Panjwani bring a deep appreciation for community and business development. With over 15 years of experience, Thobhani holds a Carolina MBA, and Panjwani has a business degree from UGA. Their entrepreneurial drive and shared passion for pickleball will shape this new facility into a hub for the sport in Atlanta.
Growing the Sport in Atlanta
With its state-of-the-art courts, professional coaching, and community events, the new Pickleball Kingdom facility is expected to draw players of all ages and skill levels. The club will offer year-round opportunities for players to hone their game and connect with others in a vibrant, inclusive setting.
As the search for the perfect location continues, anticipation is building for the grand opening of Greater Atlanta’s premier indoor pickleball destination.
