Premier Indoor Pickleball Club Franchise Adds
New Leadership to Provide Unparalleled Support to
Franchisees
RED
BANK, N.J., July 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- PickleRage, a premier
indoor pickleball club franchise, is thrilled to add a new Vice
President of Franchise Development to its leadership team. As
PickleRage works to provide a superior indoor Pickleball experience
for guests, they have brought on Eric
OConnor to strengthen the brand's expansion efforts and
provide streamlined systems for franchisees.
Offering an impressive background in business and franchise
development, OConnor built his reputation in the industry with over
25 years of experience prior to joining PickleRage, having started
a restaurant concept he grew to multiple locations throughout two
states and working with a partner to establish a 14-unit gas and
convenience store chain. OConnor eventually went on to serve as VP
of Franchise Development for brands like Huntington Learning,
Edible Arrangements, Saladworks and World Gym International as well
as Sr. Director of Franchise Development at Tommy's Express car
wash. His knowledge and expertise make him the perfect fit to help
passionate franchisees find success through PickleRage's franchise
opportunity.
"Having built my own restaurant brand successfully and spent the
majority of my career working to help concepts expand and establish
themselves in their prospective industries, I was looking for the
perfect fit for my next venture," said OConnor. "I was impressed
with the dedication and professionalism each team member I met
brought to the table and the boom that the sport is experiencing is
an exciting prospect. I'm thrilled to start guiding franchisees
throughout their journey and offering them the guidance that
would've benefited me as I was growing my own brand."
PickleRage recognizes the importance of franchisees having a
support team that they can trust and OConnor's knowledge in
financing, real-estate development and site selection are
invaluable assets. With locations opening soon in Florida and Maryland, following the recent opening of a
PickleRage in Michigan, he will be
a tremendous help in the new franchise locations in Grand Rapids, MI, Kalamazoo, MI, and Mobile, AL finding success.
"We couldn't be more excited for Eric to join the PickleRage
family," stated David Smith, Chief
Operating Officer at PickleRage. "His prior experience in franchise
development and real estate will greatly benefit our future
franchisees as we continue our national growth. The addition to our
already stellar leadership team will help ensure PickleRage will
thrive in new communities throughout the country."
With world-class social, tournament, and instructional
programing, PickleRage is looking for passionate lovers of the game
and aspiring entrepreneurs to bring the most popular sport in
America to communities nationwide. With more than 500 locations
planned over the next five years, PickleRage is set to take the
pickleball-world by storm. The overall investment cost to open a
PickleRage club ranges from $827,800
to $1,803,200.
