NORTH AMERICA’S PREMIER INDOOR PICKLEBALL FRANCHISE SET TO OPEN THIRD INDIANAPOLIS LOCATION IN LATE SPRING 2026
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Picklr, North America’s fastest-growing indoor pickleball brand, announced that its newest club in Avon, Indiana, just west of Indianapolis, is set to open late spring of 2026. The 35,000 sq. ft. facility will feature twelve world-class indoor courts, including two championship-sized courts, all built with proprietary outdoor surfacing from Just Courts, the official court layer of both The Professional Pickleball Association (PPA) and The Picklr. Members will also enjoy a full-service pro shop, a community event space, a locker room with showers, a beer tap wall, and the all new Picklr Mobility Zone featuring custom TRX workouts and equipment.
The Picklr Avon will be located at 10321 East U.S. Hwy. 36, also known as Rockville Road, where the former Big Lots store was located. The third of up to six clubs to open in the greater Indianapolis area, The Picklr Avon is being developed by The Picklr’s Indiana franchise owner, Pickle Indy, LLC. Members at The Picklr Avon will enjoy unlimited open play, league and tournament access, and exclusive member programming. Through The Picklr Academy, players of all levels can train with certified instructors in one of the most advanced pickleball development programs in the country. Every membership includes nationwide access, allowing players to access any Picklr club across the United States—making it the most valuable membership in pickleball.
“We kept hearing that Indianapolis-area pickleball lovers wanted us to bring The Picklr to the west side of the City, so we’re excited about The Picklr Avon location opening in Spring of 2026,” said Ron Brock and Dave Gilreath, local Indianapolis businessmen and managing partners of Pickle Indy, LLC. “Our Keystone Crossing and Noblesville clubs have been open for over a year now, and The Picklr North Mass in downtown Indianapolis is under development with a Fall 2026 opening date. The enthusiasm we’ve seen so far just reinforces that The Picklr offers a top-notch indoor pickleball experience to players across all levels and age groups. Get ready, Avon, for some great pickleball.”
This new location reflects The Picklr’s continued national growth and commitment to supporting passionate franchise owners who are building the future of pickleball in their communities. The Picklr network is rapidly expanding, with over 500 new clubs and 5,000 courts currently in development across North America. Brock and Gilreath plan to open as many as six locations of The Picklr throughout central Indiana and are looking at potential properties in Greenwood and Zionsville. Pickle Indy also holds The Picklr franchise territories in Nashville, TN, and Fort Myers and Naples, FL.
