Dill Dinkers Pickleball Partners with Franchise Well to Architect National Growth Strategy

9 August 2023

Maryland-based indoor pickleball concept, Dill Dinkers, is making significant strides in establishing its presence and positioning itself for rapid franchise expansion. The company has announced a strategic partnership with Franchise Well, led by industry expert Dr. Ben Litalien, on National Pickleball Day.

Dr. Ben Litalien, as Chief Development Officer, is spearheading the launch of Dill Dinkers' franchise program in the upcoming fall season. The company's founders, Will and Denise Richard, who share a strong passion for pickleball, have successfully translated their enthusiasm into an indoor facility, forming the foundation for this partnership's success.

Since its inception last November, Dill Dinkers Pickleball Club in Columbia, Maryland, has been on a remarkable growth trajectory. The flagship location is currently in the process of expanding to 12 courts. Notably, the brand has inaugurated two additional Dill Dinkers Pickleball Clubs within Maryland, with a fourth club set to open in Rockville shortly. The brand's recent lease agreement for the Manassas Mall in Virginia will pave the way for the first dedicated indoor pickleball facility in Prince William County.

Co-Founder and CEO, Will Richards, emphasized, "Through Franchise Well, Dr. Litalien is providing us with invaluable franchising expertise, empowering us to develop a robust growth strategy for Dill Dinkers. Our approach offers both single-unit and regional developer growth paths, ensuring success for owner-operators and investors. We're excited to launch our franchise program soon, with a considerable number of interested parties already in line."

With pickleball being the fastest-growing sport in the US, Dill Dinkers is at the forefront of this phenomenon, providing dedicated indoor facilities for year-round play. The brand's focus on offering a high-quality, climate-controlled environment aligns with the surging demand for indoor pickleball experiences. Dill Dinkers aims to attract franchise operators eager to capitalize on this burgeoning trend and offer players an exceptional indoor pickleball experience.

"Dill Dinkers has perfected its model to provide an unparalleled climate-controlled environment for structured play at an affordable cost. Expanding the success of Dill Dinkers into a first-rate franchise offering is a tremendous honor," noted Litalien, recognizing the brand's unique approach.

Dill Dinkers Pickleball Clubs, spanning 15,000 square feet or more, prioritize functionality and safety. Each club will have a dedicated Director of Pickleball, ensuring seamless player experiences through training, instruction, and organizing tournaments. The brand's collaboration with Joola, a leading paddle sports manufacturer, enhances player experiences with top-quality equipment.

Beyond the single Dill Dinkers Pickleball Club franchise option, the company offers territorial development opportunities with multiple revenue streams, a comprehensive operating system, a mobile-enabled management platform, robust training, and an all-encompassing marketing program. The regional developer model further accelerates brand expansion.

Supported by key partners like All Points Public Relations, Strategic Factory, Joola, Morrow Hill Commercial Real Estate, and Court Reserve, Dill Dinkers is poised for remarkable growth in the thriving world of pickleball.
