Funding Success and Strategic Partnerships
The recent Series B funding round, spearheaded by Pickleball Inc., has propelled The Picklr’s valuation to an impressive $59 million, contributing to a total of $9 million raised. This influx of capital not only paves the way for rapid expansion across multiple sectors but also solidifies The Picklr’s standing as one of the premier franchises for both franchisees and pickleball enthusiasts alike.
As the sole pickleball franchise partnered with Pickleball Inc., The Picklr will gain visibility on the Pro Pickleball Association Tour, appearing in live broadcasts and commercials. In addition, sister companies Pickleball Central and Stack Athletics will supply equipment and apparel at all Picklr locations, further enhancing the franchise’s offerings.
Aiming for Nationwide Reach
With aspirations to establish pickleball locations in over 32 states by early 2025 and to boast more than 1,080 pro-style indoor courts by the year’s end, The Picklr is set to transform the pickleball experience for players of all skill levels.
