The Fastest-Growing Sport in America.
And It’s Still Early.
Pickleball isn’t a trend — it’s a category shift. Participation has grown over 200% in the past five years, and the infrastructure hasn’t caught up. Most markets are still underserved.
The Picklr is the largest dedicated indoor pickleball franchise in the country — purpose-built clubs running a repeatable model in more than 70 communities globally.

They Came With Questions. They Left With Decisions.

"I came in with questions and left with a decision. Everything I needed to know was in that room."
