Pickleball Concept To Debut in 4 Markets

The Pickle Pad, an indoor pickleball concept with an on-site restaurant, has lined up growth plans. The brand’s newest signings include self-described “high-growth markets,” including Oak Bridge, N.J.; Port Arthur, Texas; Hoover, Ala.; and Tampa, Fla.

The Pickle Pad is part of Indoor Active Brands, which also owns Altitude Trampoline Park; it launched in December 2023, with the first unit opening in Tallahassee, Fla., the following June. “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,” notes the brand’s Aug. 18 press release.

“Our growth strategy is rooted in collaboration and intentional site selection,” says 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.”

Further, in Q4, The Pickle Pad will open in Myrtle Beach, S.C.; St. George, Utah; and Newport News, Va.
