Why Picklr Is the Fastest Growing Franchise System in Pickleball

“They’ve already invented the wheel for us, from the tech to the programming. We thought about opening our own, but when we found out The Picklr already had it figured out, we had to go with them.” – Missy Allred, Utah franchise owner.

We hear this comment from every one of our franchisees. They see our clubs and our growth, and the excitement is contagious. They want to be a part of the revolution. You don’t have to be an NFL icon like Drew Brees to be a franchise owner. Some of our franchisees were members of our very first club in Uintah, Utah. We’ve found a formula that works, and we’re sticking to the game plan: build premium clubs with pro-level resources and make pickleball accessible to everyone.

We look forward to working with you to grow the premier indoor pickleball franchise in the world.
