New player plans indoor pickleball court at former Toys R Us in Vernon Hills
After a lull in the action, a new player has emerged with plans to convert the former Toys R Us store in Vernon Hills .
A Utah-based company The Picklr has announced a major expansion of 80 new indoor pickleball facilities in 11 states, including locations in Mundelein, Naperville and Villa Park in Illinois.
If the proposal becomes a reality, the public would be able to download an app, book a court, and play pickleball year-round in a 45,000-square-foot Vernon Hills facility.
PickleMall Inc., which recently opened a 24-court site in Arizona, is looking to convert a vacant space in Vernon Hills as part of its plan to open 50 centers in two years.
