We are thrilled to announce that The Picklr Canada is expanding beyond its headquarters in Winnipeg, with the first-ever franchise opening in Etobicoke, Ontario. This marks a significant milestone for The Picklr, as the brand continues to grow and bring its unique, all-inclusive pickleball experience to communities across the country.
Behind this exciting new facility is a passionate and dedicated team of entrepreneurs—Vincent, Tian, and Carter—who bring a diverse set of professional experiences to the Picklr family. Vincent’s background in marketing, Tian’s expertise in customer service, and Carter’s experience in sports coaching and business management make them a well-rounded and capable team ready to build a vibrant pickleball community in the Toronto area.
Their journey to becoming The Picklr Canada’s first franchisees is inspiring. Initially drawn to The Picklr’s innovative membership model and established brand presence, the trio solidified their decision after visiting The Picklr’s headquarters in Utah. “We recognized the immense value of adopting a tried-and-tested franchise formula that had already proven successful in the US market,” they shared. Their firsthand experience at the Salt Lake City HQ revealed the strength of The Picklr’s operational processes, training, and community-focused business model.
Setting up a new facility in a bustling city like Toronto is no small feat, but with the support of The Picklr’s seasoned team, Vincent, Tian, and Carter navigated the challenges of real estate and site selection with confidence. The Etobicoke location is set to become a hub for pickleball enthusiasts of all skill levels, offering a welcoming space for players to learn, connect, and compete.
The grand opening in Etobicoke is just the beginning. Vincent, Tian, and Carter have ambitious plans to expand The Picklr brand throughout the Greater Toronto Area, laying the foundation for a community-driven approach to the sport that is both inclusive and exciting.
To all aspiring entrepreneurs considering a venture into the world of pickleball, Vincent, Tian, and Carter extend a heartfelt invitation: “We’re excited to build the pickleball community here in Ontario. Come visit us once we open, and let’s dink, connect, and compete!”
Join us in celebrating this incredible milestone for The Picklr Canada. Stay tuned for more updates as we prepare to open our doors in Etobicoke. We can’t wait to see you on the court!
