Pickleball Kingdom is expanding its footprint in Florida with a new franchise club opening in Port Richey, FL, in early 2026. The new ~40,000-square-foot facility will have 14 indoor professional-grade pickleball courts.
The Port Richey club is a joint venture with the Pinellas Park club between longtime friends and business partners Jerry Campbell and Dr. Brian Dahmer. They stated that they are “excited to bring a world-class indoor pickleball experience to Pasco County.”
“What excites me most is the positive impact it will have on our community,” offered Campbell. “Pickleball has this amazing ability to unite people. It is social, accessible and fun for every age. I see Pickleball Kingdom as more than a sports facility. It is a place that promotes community, friendship, wellness, and local pride right here in Pasco County.”
Ace Rodrigues, founder and CEO of Pickleball Kingdom, stated, “We are honored to introduce Pickleball Kingdom to Port Richey. Every club we open strengthens communities, builds friendships, and gives people a place to belong. Jerry and Brian have a tremendous heart for service, and their leadership will make this club a powerful addition to the region. Port Richey is about to experience something truly special.”
