National franchisor Ace Pickleball recently opened its first Chester County location, bringing 12 climate-controlled courts to a former furniture store, writes John George for the Philadelphia Business Journal.
The new club marks the 25th location of Georgia-based Ace Pickleball, that has been launched by longtime friends and franchisees Savan Manvar, Milan Dalsania, and Mayank Jasani. Living in the Lehigh Valley and united by a love of sports, the trio turned their passion for pickleball into a business by opening the Downingtown location.
“We’ve played volleyball and cricket and pickleball together,” said Manvar. “Now we get together and our families are all friends.”
The franchisees picked Downingtown as the site for the club because outdoor pickleball options are abundant, but indoor venues remain scarce.
Ace Pickleball opened its doors on March 28 with a membership model providing unlimited play for $119 per month, including the first month free. The 12 courts are equipped with advanced technology, such as live streaming and instant replay, aimed at enhancing gameplay and training.
According to general manager Shawn Ganow, the club will also hold leagues, tournaments, social mixers, and other community events.
