PickleRage Franchise Expansion in US: PickleRage has signed five new franchise deals to grow its indoor pickleball clubs in the United States. New locations will open in Newark, Ohio, Genesee County, Michigan, Marion County, Indiana, Greater Charlotte, North Carolina, and Las Vegas, Nevada. Each site will be run by a local business owner.
Rapid Expansion Plans
These deals are part of PickleRage’s big plan to open over 500 clubs in the next five years. GreekPeak Venture Partners invested in the brand last fall to help fuel this growth. Franchise owners will spend between $827,800 and $1.8 million to start their businesses.
High-Quality Facilities
PickleRage clubs will feature CushionX courts, the same kind used at the U.S. Open Pickleball Championships. The flooring helps protect players’ joints. Each location will have video recording and live-streaming tools. These allow players to watch their games later, track their skills, or share clips online.
Welcoming New Leaders
Chris Daiss, PickleRage’s vice president of real estate and construction, shared excitement about the expansion.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Steve, Pat, Michael, Matt and Tony to the PickleRage family,” Chris Daiss said. “Their passion for the sport and dedication to delivering an exceptional pickleball experience will help shape the future of our brand as we continue expanding into both emerging and established markets. These new deals are a representation of our commitment to building thriving pickleball communities across the country.”
Growing Popularity
Pickleball is popular with people of all ages. Many older adults enjoy the sport because it is low-impact and social. Humana, a health and wellness company, recently launched its “Invite” campaign to inspire seniors to stay active by playing pickleball.
The sport is also growing fast with Gen Z and millennials who see it as a fun way to exercise and connect with friends. PickleRage believes the sport’s popularity is still rising and that the demand for indoor courts will keep growing for years.
