What This Is

This is what 70+ clubs run on.

Picklr built a franchise system around how pickleball actually runs: a coaching structure, a membership model, and operational playbooks that hold across every market type.

Seventy-plus clubs. Thousands of Picklrs. One playbook.

Real estate strategy, build out costs, marketing that fills courts, programming that keeps members coming back. Walk through it with the teams running it and see the margins and milestones that never show up in a pitch deck.
