With three corporate locations opening soon in Florida, Michigan, and Maryland, and new franchisee-owned locations
planned to open in Grand Rapids,
MI, Kalamazoo, MI, and
Mobile, AL, PickleRage is making
good on their goal to become one of the leading providers of
indoor, year-round pickleball. Having just announced their
franchise opportunity in February of this year, the brand is hoping
to build upon this tremendous momentum, specifically looking for
aspiring franchise owners to bring the love of the game to
Arizona, Florida, Utah, Nevada,
Texas and North Carolina. PickleRage hopes to have more
than 30 locations open by the end of 2025.
Jonathan Keith and Mark Howard, franchise owners of the new
Mobile location and longtime
business partners in the real estate space, are eager to bring a
first-class pickleball facility and experience to their local
community.
"We are both excited about the opportunity to bring a
first-class pickleball facility to the Mobile Area. I was born and raised in
Mobile, and looking to bring a new
business and activity to my community. We look forward to creating
new relationships and strengthening bonds in our city," said Keith.
"I see tremendous growth and excitement in pickleball in general
and know that PickleRage will provide our neighbors with a fun and
exciting way to interact and engage with each other, while getting
their hearts pumping."
Robyn Hesling and her husband,
Keith Goodrich, will own and operate
PickleRage clubs in Grand Rapids
and Kalamazoo, Michigan. Both are
highly experienced franchisees, having owned a Pet Supplies Plus
for 3 decades, along with a self-employed Handyman business.
"We were excited about the growth of the sport of pickleball,
the passion of the players and the pure fun of running a business
for people to come in and enjoy good health, companionship and
friendly competition," said Hesling. "We're hoping to build a
community of friendship where our players feel comfortable,
welcome, have fun and enjoy spending time playing the sport
together."
PickleRage is at the forefront of the indoor pickleball
industry, capitalizing on the sport's explosive popularity, which
has seen a 223.5% increase in participation over the past three
years. This growth is particularly strong among younger
players, making it a prime opportunity for capturing a broad
demographic. As Americans continue to put an emphasis on their
health and wellness while looking for ways to couple that with a
social aspect, PickleRage's franchise offering stands to be highly
lucrative for prospective partners.
The brand stands out with its cutting-edge CushionX courts (the
same used by professionals in the U.S. Open), advanced reservation
systems, and community-focused culture. These features attract a
diverse membership base and drive player retention, providing
franchisees with a strong competitive edge.
"Not only is PickleRage ideal for pickleball players, but it's
the perfect pick for franchisees looking to get in early on
something that is growing in popularity every single day," said
Eric OConnor, VP of Franchise
Development at PickleRage. "We provide advanced technological
solutions that streamline operations, significantly reducing
staffing needs, labor costs, and improving efficiency. This
automated operational model allows for the effective management of
large facilities with minimal staff, providing a seamless
experience for both franchisees and players."
PickleRage's tailored, hands-on approach to franchise
development has been coupled with expert real estate selection to
ensure optimal location targeting, leveraging pre-existing sites
for better capacity, parking, and zoning advantages.
With world-class social, tournament, and instructional
programing, PickleRage is looking for passionate lovers of the game
and aspiring entrepreneurs to bring the most popular sport in
America to communities nationwide. With more than 500 locations
planned over the next five years, PickleRage is set to take the
pickleball-world by storm. The overall investment cost to open a
PickleRage club ranges from $827,800
to $1,803,200.
