Pickleball Kingdom announced plans to open a franchise member club in South Brunswick, NJ, who also has a location open in Hamilton, NJ, with additional locations in Watchung and Tinton Falls scheduled to open this winter.

“Our Pickleball Kingdom club will be more than a sports facility; it will help local economic growth and be a community hub that supports active living. It will help create a safe space for social connection and youth engagement. It’s an investment in the well-being and vibrancy of South Brunswick,” said franchisee Yashraj Kurani. “We will create a space that promotes health, connection, and fun, while growing a sport that people genuinely love. South Brunswick and neighboring towns don’t have any indoor courts that meet the growing demand, and Pickleball Kingdom is the perfect fit.”

“We’re excited to continue growing Pickleball Kingdom’s presence in New Jersey,” said Ace Rodrigues, founder and CEO of Pickleball Kingdom. “As we expand across the state, every new club deepens our commitment to building stronger communities through the power of pickleball.

Kurani has had a successful career in IT sales for over two decades.  A competitive pickleball player with a background in racquetball and badminton, he recently earned a 4.0 PPA Golden Ticket and has competed in high-level cross-club events, including winning the All-Star Game.
