Ace Pickleball Club will debut franchising offering indoor pickleball facilities in early 2023.
Each facility features eight to sixteen regulation-size, climate-controlled courts with on-court technology for live streaming, instant replay, and social and event space.
Founder and CEO Jay Diederich and Co-Founder and President Joe Sexton of Ace Pickleball Club saw a void in the space and growing demand for indoor facilities that provide year-round access to players of all ages and skill levels across the country.
APC reported that approximately 10,000 facilities are registered nationwide with the USA Pickleball Association, of which 99 percent are outdoors and not useable during inclement weather. And local city halls and planning departments have started to limit hours of operations or have closed outdoor courts located near housing due to noise complaints.
APC will begin offering franchises for development across the U.S. in February of 2023. Roswell, GA, will be the first to open.
APC will introduce a family-friendly environment for members of all ages to learn, play and compete year-round. Members will have unlimited open play in addition to leagues, tournaments, clinics, glow-in-the-dark pickleball, and social events.
APC investors include but are not limited to Andy Stenzler, founder, Rumble Boxing and Lab Capital Advisors; Doug Birer, multi-unit developer of Orangetheory, Kidstrong and PetWellClinic; Eric Simon, vice-president, Joint Chiropractic; Nena Mass, SVP at CBRE; Tabish Jesrai and Mohammad Omar, multi-unit developers, Crumbl Cookies; Workweek Capital; and Wendy Selevitch, founder, Soultenders, Inc.
