PHOENIX — A Utah-based indoor pickleball chain will open its first Valley location later this year, the company announced.
The Picklr venue is scheduled to open in the fall in the Costco Plaza at Priest Drive and Elliot Road in Tempe.
The Tempe establishment will be the first of three East Valley locations. The other two The Picklr sites will be announced at a later date.
“As one of the top three states in the country for pickleball players, Arizona is primed for indoor pickleball, and there is no better experience than playing at The Picklr,” Ryan Werlich of the Tempe Franchise Ownership group said in a press release.
