Dill Dinkers® and Pickleball Central Launch Strategic Partnership to Elevate Player Experience

Leading Indoor Pickleball Club Franchise Integrating Specialty Pickleball Products into its Clubs Nationwide 

COLUMBIA, Md., Feb. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Dill Dinkers, the established leader and fastest-growing dedicated indoor pickleball club franchise, announced today a new partnership with Pickleball Central, the world's oldest and largest specialty retailer for pickleball equipment. This strategic collaboration will provide Dill Dinkers players with access to hand-picked, world-class pickleball products, supporting players of all skill levels in the sport's growing community.

"Dill Dinkers and Pickleball Central share a vision of making pickleball accessible for everyone," said Will Richards, Founder and CEO of Dill Dinkers. "By partnering with one of the biggest names in the game, our players will gain unparalleled in-club access to expert-curated pickleball equipment and accessories, including the opportunity to demo the hottest paddles and apparel on the market—a benefit unmatched by traditional retail channels."

A respected omnichannel retailer, Pickleball Central has been at the forefront of the sport for nearly two decades, recently shipping its one-millionth order and continuing to set the standard as the trusted experts on all pickleball products. The company's commitment to serving customers both online and at indoor pickleball clubs perfectly complements Dill Dinkers' mission to create welcoming spaces where everyone can learn, play and grow in their pickleball journey.

"Our partnership with Dill Dinkers is a perfect match," said Taylor Loomis, CEO of Pickleball Central. "They are leaders in indoor pickleball, making the sport accessible all year round. Together, we're equipping players with the best products and ensuring that anyone stepping onto a Dill Dinkers court has access to everything they need to enjoy and excel at the game."

This partnership not only enhances the player experience, but also adds a competitive edge to the Dill Dinkers franchise opportunity. Providing an additional revenue stream for pickleball club owners, every Dill Dinkers club will be equipped to offer an exclusive array of products through the Pickleball Central partnership, including high-performance paddles varying in weight, size and material, as well as apparel and accessories. Players also benefit from on-site product demos and top-notch customer service—key differentiators that attract both members and franchise investors.

Since its inception in November 2022, Dill Dinkers has driven remarkable growth, recently signing another seven regional development deals totaling 100 units across states like New Jersey, New York, Florida and Pennsylvania. The brand currently operates 11 indoor pickleball clubs, though nearly 20 leases have been signed for new sites in the past few months.

For those looking to invest in the sport, the Dill Dinkers franchise offers regional territories and single units for development featuring nine revenue streams, a robust operating system, a proprietary reporting and management platform that is mobile-enabled, an exclusive enterprise solution with CourtReserve, an intensive training system and a turnkey marketing program for grand opening and membership development. Delivering a national quality professional experience, the brand now boasts its national partnership with pros Collin Johns and Martina Kochli, and each club is staffed with a director of pickleball and offers industry-leading paddles, nets, and other high-quality products through its national brand partnership with JOOLA and Pickleball Central.
