New signings inFlorida, New Jersey, Texas, and Alabama underscore The Pickle Pad's momentum, with seven locations in development and three grand openings slated for Q4.
The Pickle Pad, the dynamic, next-generation pickleball entertainment venue, is ramping up momentum heading into the second half of the year, with new signings across four key markets and seven locations currently in development. Q3 has marked a strong return to expansion, fueled by The Pickle Pad's proven multi-experience model and demand for active social spaces.
The brand's newest signings include several high-growth markets that align with its strategy to create full-scale entertainment destinations, including Oak Bridge, New Jersey, where The Pickle Pad will open alongside Birdie ParTee and Crave Social Eatery, forming a robust social hub. In Port Arthur, Texas, the location will be part of a multi-experience development that also includes Birdie ParTee, Crave Social Eatery, and Altitude Trampoline Park. In Hoover, Alabama, The Pickle Pad will debut in partnership with Crave Social Eatery and Altitude Trampoline Park, and lastly, it will debut its first location in Tampa, Florida, further reinforcing its presence in the Southeast.
Each of these markets reflects The Pickle Pad's commitment to delivering more than just pickleball. By co-locating with complementary concepts like Crave Social Eatery, Birdie ParTee, and Altitude Trampoline Park, The Pickle Pad continues to evolve into a full-scale destination for active play, casual dining, and elevated group experiences.
“Our growth strategy is rooted in collaboration and intentional site selection,” said Chris Kuehn, President of Indoor Active Brands. “These new signings demonstrate how powerful our model can be when paired with the right partners in the right communities. The Pickle Pad is more than a place to play-it's a place to gather, celebrate, and create lasting memories.”
With seven locations currently in development, The Pickle Pad is maintaining strong momentum across its pipeline. From construction to permitting, each location is being carefully brought to life in alignment with the brand's commitment to experience-first, family-friendly environments that blend play and hospitality.
Looking ahead to Q4, The Pickle Pad is preparing to open three new venues in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; St. George, Utah; and Newport News, Virginia. While exact opening dates are still to be announced, each location will deliver The Pickle Pad's signature combination of pickleball, chef-driven food and beverage offerings, and curated social experiences-just in time for the holiday season.
