The Picklr, North America’s fastest-growing indoor pickleball franchise, headquartered in Kaysville, Utah, announced today that their Bloomington-Normal, IL club will celebrate its grand opening in the fall of 2024. The Twin Cities club will be the first of four locations in the Central/Western Illinois area, with other locations in Peoria, Champaign-Urbana, and the Quad Cities set to open at later dates. The 30,000 sq ft Picklr will feature indoor courts with high-quality outdoor style surfacing, a full pro shop, private event space, unlimited league play, tournaments, and open play. This club represents The Picklr’s commitment to meeting the demand for top-notch indoor pickleball experiences while partnering with enthusiastic franchise owners who will support and nurture The Picklr’s pickleball communities nationwide.
“We are thrilled to bring The Picklr’s state-of-the-art pickleball facility to Bloomington-Normal. As a management group that knows and loves the twin cities so dearly, and with pickleball quickly becoming one of the most desirable ways to stay active, spend time with others, and enjoy some friendly competition, we wanted to ensure we partnered with the best-in-class option for indoor pickleball,” said Alex Burge and Adam Bell, members of the Franchise Ownership group. “The Picklr was the premier choice; from the world-class facility to their unlimited play, coaching for juniors and adults, fully-stocked pro shop, and well-run tournaments and clinics, they are truly top-notch. We are delighted to begin construction on our 30,000 square feet facility in College Hills Plaza, where area residents will enjoy a centrally located home to Connect, Dink, and Compete.”
The four Central/Western Illinois Picklr’s are part of a national expansion for the franchise, including 154 new locations signed across 23 states, with 1800 courts being built over the next few years. Players can learn more about the Bloomington-Normal location at: https://thepicklr.com/loca†
