Overview

Pickleball Kingdom is an American chain of indoor pickleball facilities. The idea came from founder Ace Rodrigues, who loved pickleball but wanted to eliminate the downsides of playing outdoors. The first Pickleball Kingdom opened on May 2, 2022 in Chandler, Arizona, featuring outdoor surfaces with indoor benefits, 15 individually fenced courts, a mezzanine viewing area, a pro shop, snack bar, and locker rooms with showers. After a year of operations, the company began expanding nationally through franchising, and its leadership team started reviewing franchise applications in May 2023. The brand offers membership plans such as ACE, ELITE, Team, and ROYAL FAMILY, and provides a free Pickleball 101 class.

History

The idea for Pickleball Kingdom came from founder Ace Rodrigues, who loved everything about pickleball except the sun, wind, rain, heat, cold, and waiting, and wanted to eliminate the downsides of playing outdoors. On May 2, 2022, the first Pickleball Kingdom opened in Chandler, Arizona. The club has 15 individually fenced courts, a mezzanine viewing area, a pro shop, snack bar, and locker rooms with showers. After a year of operations and perfecting the system, Pickleball Kingdom was ready to expand nationally through franchising, and its leadership team started reviewing franchise applications in May of 2023. Six months later, about 100 franchise clubs had been awarded, with that number growing weekly.
