PickleRage Powers Nationwide Growth with 17 New Franchise Deals in 2025

Premier Indoor Pickleball Club Drives Growth, Announces New Locations, and Enhances Franchisee Support to Finish 2025 Strong

MIAMI, Aug. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- PickleRage, one of America's fastest-growing indoor pickleball clubs, is building on powerful momentum from the first half of 2025 as it accelerates into the second half of the year. The brand has made significant progress by expanding its franchise network, entering new markets, strengthening community partnerships, and investing in its corporate team. Throughout this growth, PickleRage has remained committed to its mission of creating high-quality spaces to play, connect, and grow the sport of pickleball.

Club Growth and Market Expansion
The year began with the grand opening of PickleRage at Glen Burnie in Maryland, followed by the launch of a new location in Mobile, Alabama. The West Bloomfield, Michigan club also reached its one-year anniversary this July, marking an early example of strong local engagement and staying power. Looking ahead, PickleRage is on track to open at least five additional clubs before the end of 2025. These openings are driven by 17 new franchise agreements, which include:

• Centerville, OH (November 2025)
• Portage, MI (December 2025)
• New Rochelle, NY (November 2025)
• Union County, NJ (October/November 2025)
• North Charleston, SC (corporate-owned, November 2025)

New territories are also in development across Michigan, North Carolina, Florida, Maryland, Texas, Indiana, New Hampshire, Nevada, and New Jersey. With seven new states added this year, PickleRage expects to be operating in 13 states by year-end. The brand's national footprint continues to grow alongside strong demand from franchisees.

"Demand is soaring from both players and entrepreneurs who see the opportunity to be part of something special," said David Smith, COO at PickleRage. "Seventeen new markets in six months is just the beginning. We're building real nationwide momentum, and our franchise partners are helping bring the PickleRage experience to more communities across the country."

Community-First, Purpose-Driven Impact
From Alabama to Michigan, PickleRage clubs are embedding themselves in local communities, not just as places to play, but as partners in purpose. PickleRage clubs have made a tangible difference in their local markets through high-impact events and partnerships:

• Mobile, AL: Hosted the LOV Pickleball Tournament in partnership with Light of the Village and the Mobile Sunrise Rotary Club, raising funds for free summer camps for underserved youth in Prichard and Toulminville.
• Glen Burnie, MD: Hosted the Battle of the Badges Pickleball Tournament, bringing together regional police and fire departments for a weekend of competition, camaraderie, and community fundraising.
• West Bloomfield, MI: Partnered with local schools and summer programs to host youth pickleball clubs and works with the Boys & Girls Clubs to promote active living and community connection.
• Jacksonville, FL: Partnered with Special Olympics North Florida, which began hosting practices at the Avenues Walk location in July. Monthly events are also planned to support ongoing programming.

Stronger Leadership, Smarter Support, Bolder Marketing
To match the pace of expansion, PickleRage invested in key leadership hires in 2025:

• Michelle Sudovich - Franchise Development Manager
• Sydney James - Franchise Marketing Manager
• Chris Martignetti - Real Estate and Construction Project Manager

These additions bring deep expertise in franchise growth, localized marketing, and multi-site construction management, ensuring franchisees receive robust support from concept through club opening.

"As we scale, we're not just opening more clubs, we're building a connected, energized network of players, franchisees, and fans," continued Smith. "This is about more than growth. It's about creating a movement that prioritizes play, connection, and community. We're able to achieve that goal through the incredible partners we've brought on board, and we're committed to supporting them every step of the way as we continue to grow together."

Looking Ahead
As PickleRage moves into the second half of the year, the brand is sharpening its focus on club performance, local engagement, and franchisee success—key pillars driving its long-term impact on the sport and beyond. Its expanding partnership with the Johnson family continues to strengthen PickleRage's credibility and growing presence within the pickleball community. The team is excited to spend the remainder of 2025 building alongside its current franchise partners and welcoming new, passionate entrepreneurs to help shape the future of pickleball.
