TL;DR

Ace Pickleball Club has awarded its first 10 franchises to expand in Colorado, Florida, Indiana, and Pennsylvania. The franchisees include the Cooper family, Liz and Mike Tanji, TK Herman, David and Bob Miller, and Jim and Courtney Baraglia.

Five franchisees collectively opening ten Ace Pickleball Clubs is the most recent news, but Co-Founder and President, Joe Sexton, explained that there are more franchisees jumping on board soon. “It’s just the tip of the iceberg,” Joe explained. “We couldn’t have asked for a better group of franchisees to kick things off, and we’ll be releasing more news in the next few weeks announcing additional franchises awarded across several new states.”

The Cooper family (Opening 3 Ace Pickleball Clubs in Southwest Florida), led by McKinley Cooper, co-owns The Joint Chiropractic and also owns multiple Buff City Soap franchises.

“We are just so impressed with the level of organization and quality of systems we’ve seen from day one with Ace Pickleball Club. It’s a talented team that knows what they’re doing as they continue to prove it to us every step of the way. We’re thrilled with our decision to expand Ace Pickleball Club into Southwest Florida and see a very bright future ahead for all of us,” said McKinley Cooper.

Liz and Mike Tanji (Opening 3 Ace Pickleball Clubs in Denver) are currently franchisees of Scooters Coffee, and founded several of their own companies prior to that.

TK Herman (Opening 2 Ace Pickleball Clubs in Fort Wayne) has been a long-time serial entrepreneur and was previously a multi-unit franchisee of Sky Zone Trampoline Parks.

David and Bob Miller (Opening 1 Ace Pickleball Club in Harrisburg) have owned and operated more than 30 businesses over the last 40 years, and are currently multi-unit owners of nine Sport Clips Haircuts franchises.

Jim and Courtney Baraglia (Opening 1 Ace Pickleball Club in Denver) previously built and operated a thriving fitness club in the Denver area before a successful exit.
