TEXAS’S LARGEST DEDICATED INDOOR PICKLEBALL FACILITY WILL OPEN IN PLANO IN JANUARY 2024
Dallas entrepreneur Dan Jenkins revitalizes a vacant anchor store with an indoor 15-court facility as the Pickleball Kingdom expands in North Texas.
Texas approaches a new milestone in the world of pickleball as Pickleball Kingdom - North Texas, guided by the entrepreneurial expertise of Dallas-based commercial real estate developer Dan Jenkins, prepares to introduce the state's largest dedicated indoor pickleball facility. With 15 indoor courts coupled with outdoor surfaces, this game-changing establishment will reshape the pickleball landscape in North Texas. Located in Plano, this expansive facility is slated to open in January 2024.
In partnership with the Pickleball Kingdom franchise network headquartered in Chandler, AZ, Jenkins has secured the rights to develop and operate five Pickleball Kingdom locations across North Texas, including Plano, Keller, and three other facilities. Committed to fostering pickleball growth, the franchise aims to offer convenient facilities within 10-15 minutes of North Texas communities.
Initially, the Pickleball Kingdom team was challenged to find a location with at least 40,000 square feet, but their search led them to a vacant anchor store. The building owner, who shares an appreciation for pickleball, expressed enthusiasm for Pickleball Kingdom's vision and recognized the potential for revitalizing the available space.
"Since my childhood days of playing pickleball at camp, my love for this sport has been a lifelong companion. It's a game that brings people together, creates lasting bonds, and fuels a passion that never fades,” Jenkins, the Chief Visionary Officer but also referred to as Papa Pickle, expressed his enthusiasm for these developments. “As we prepare to open the largest indoor pickleball facility in Plano, we invite our friends and neighbors into a world of excitement, community, and healthy competition. I can't wait to see players of all ages and levels come together to become a part of the Kingdom experience because ‘life is better with pickleball’!”
