The Picklr, a Uintah, Weber County-based indoor pickleball company with seven locations in Utah and Colorado, has announced plans to take its indoor pickleball concept to the franchise arena.
“We are excited to be adding indoor facility infrastructure to the fastest-growing sport in America with The Picklr franchise program,” said CEO Jorge Barragan. “Pickleball is exploding across the country and we expect Picklr to be in over 100 communities with 800 indoor courts over the next{mprestriction ids="1,3"} three years.”
The Picklr’s franchise program will provide entrepreneurs with the opportunity to own their own indoor pickleball facility, Barragan said. The Picklr will offer training, support and equipment to create a high level of the pickleball sports experience nationwide. Included will be indoor pickleball courts with a pro shop, classes, expert instructors for all levels of play, family-focused events and tournaments for the full range of casual, serious and professional pickleball players. The Picklr also includes partnerships with top pickleball brands such as DUPR, MLP, Minor League Pickleball and Joola.
“Pickleball is a thrilling sport and growing very fast; the time to invest is now,” said Tyler Loong, a top-five men’s doubles professional pickleball player. Loong, a partner and spokesperson for The Picklr, is “excited to be part of the team bringing The Picklr across the United States. We are energized to bring The Picklr to more and more locations,” he said. “We understand the opportunity before us to combine business ownership with the passion of pickleball.”{/mprestriction}
