New Basketball Gym Opening in Montana City, MT

21 September 2023

PickUp USA Fitness, headquartered in Southern California and known as the nation's largest basketball gym chain, is expanding its presence by opening its first location in Montana. The new facility, located in Montana City, offers a range of amenities for both youth and adult basketball players.

Key features of the Montana City PickUp USA location include a regulation basketball court, a fully equipped weight and cardio room, and dedicated spaces for basketball training and development. The gym caters to adult basketball enthusiasts by providing PickUp basketball games with referees, along with access to the fitness room. For youth basketball players, the facility offers one-on-one basketball training and youth basketball development leagues.

PickUp USA originally opened its first location in Irwindale, California, in 2012, initially focusing on enhancing the PickUp basketball experience for adults by offering referees, scorekeeping, and a unique game queue system to organize teams. Over time, the company expanded its services to include youth programming. In 2017, PickUp USA began franchising, and it has since become the largest basketball gym brand in the United States.

Lauren Sanchez, PickUp USA's Franchise Support Associate, expressed the company's excitement about the opening of the Montana City location. She highlighted the growing momentum of the brand, with plans to open one to two clubs each month. The Montana City area was identified as having a demand for basketball facilities, making it a promising market for PickUp USA.

The Montana City PickUp USA location is a franchise owned by local residents Tyrone and Ashley Lucas. Tyrone Lucas, a military veteran with a background in youth personal training and sports performance training, is passionate about helping kids succeed in both life and sports. The Lucas family's involvement in PickUp USA aligns with the company's commitment to supporting the community and fostering youth development.

PickUp USA is part of the International Franchise Association's VetFran program, which offers discounts and special services to qualified military veterans. Many of the franchise outlets are owned by military veterans, emphasizing the company's dedication to assisting veterans in business ownership.

The Montana City PickUp USA facility has initiated a membership pre-sales campaign and is expected to open its doors within the next 45 to 60 days, providing a valuable resource for basketball enthusiasts in the area.
