Calling all pickleball fans.The Picklr, an indoor pickleball facility, is coming to the North Hills Shopping Center (where the new Sprout’s is) in March 2025.
What can we expect in the space?
The ~25,000-sqft space will feature:
Eight pro-quality pickleball courts
A pro shop
Private event + lounge space
Locker rooms
Grab-and-go food + beverages
Why Greenville?
Co-founder of Waymore Sports (the national franchise operator of The Picklr) Jay Sartori said they chose Greenville because of our “growth and strong pickleball community.” By 2028, Waymore Sports hopes to have 66 facilities in the US.
Satori told Upstate Business Journal, “We’re able to basically choose beautiful locations like Greenville and many of the other cities we’re going into where we know there’s a lot of players with the heavy desire and thirst for great indoor pickleball.”
