Pickleball Kingdom, a fast-growing indoor pickleball franchise, is looking to expand its empire, and the company is planning to open several state-of-the-art indoor pickleball clubs across Chicago.

This expansion will be spearheaded by the GTOne Management Group. Rob Streett, COO of Pickleball Kingdom, said, “We’ve been wanting to open Chicago for a while now. But it is imperative to us that we find the right partners, and we found that in the GTOne Management Group.”

The new indoor facilities would offer a year-round destination for both seasoned players and newcomers alike. “A pickleball is a wiffle ball, so no ball in any sport is more affected by wind than a pickleball,” said Ace Rodrigues, Founder and CEO of Pickleball Kingdom. He continued, “And nowhere is it windier than in the ‘Windy City.’ We’re thrilled to have Pickleball Kingdoms in Chicago and the rest of Illinois.”

The new clubs will feature professional-grade courts, lighting and sound systems, as well as open play, leagues, and private coaching. The expansion marks the latest in a series of pickleball ventures that seek to meet the ever-growing demand of pickleball enthusiasts and the sports community in Chicago.
