The Picklr Opens First of Three Chicago Area Pickleball Clubs

The Picklr, a fast-growing indoor pickleball franchise, celebrated the grand opening of the company’s location in Naperville this weekend. The Naperville club is within the Fox River Commons retail center and will be the first of three locations in the Chicago area, with other clubs set to open later this year.

The Picklr, Naperville, features nine indoor courts with high-quality outdoor style surfacing, a full pro shop, private event space, unlimited league play, tournaments, and open play. The Picklr signed a lease with Continental Realty Corporation for 27,333 square feet of space within the 241,000 square foot shopping center last year.

The Picklr offers an unparalleled pickleball experience for players of all skill levels. All locations offer professional-grade outdoor surfacing, best-in-class technology, and access to free leagues, tournaments, and clinics. In 2023, The Picklr announced plans to expand to eighty new facilities in eleven states. Pickleball Kingdom, another indoor pickleball franchise, also recently signaled its plans to open several state-of-the-art indoor pickleball clubs across Chicago.
