## Story

MUFC is an annual gathering that brings together industry leaders, entrepreneurs and franchise professionals to share insights, best practices and innovations in the franchising world.

Founded by avid pickleball players Will and Denise Richards, Dill Dinkers was created to offer a welcoming, safe and fun atmosphere that fosters learning, healthy competition and an active lifestyle. As enthusiasts of the sport, the Richards often struggled to find courts that were free from turbulent weather conditions, long wait times and injury-prone mixed-use developments. Recognizing the need for dedicated indoor pickleball clubs, the pair launched Dill Dinkers.

"We started Dill Dinkers because of our unwavering passion for the sport and the community it has provided us,” said Co-Founder and CEO Will Richards. “As a former Dominos multi-unit franchisee, it was crucial for us to build a strong network of support ahead of our franchising launch.”

Delivering a quality professional experience, the brand now boasts its national partnership with pros Collin Johns and Martina Kochli, and pickleball influencer Kaitlyn Kerr, and each club is staffed with a director of pickleball and offers paddles, nets and other high-quality products through its national brand partnership with JOOLA and Pickleball Central.
