Rajesh Byldugula and Suresh Reddy are the new owners of Pickleball Kingdom Plano, which is celebrating a grand reopening next weekend.
After a franchise owner’s filing for bankruptcy caused Pickleball Kingdom to temporarily close, the indoor pickleball chain announced its reopening under new ownership this week.
Pickleball Kingdom is a 44,407-square-foot facility with 15 professional-grade indoor courts.
“We are proud to move forward in Plano and open the doors to an elevated Pickleball Kingdom experience,” said Ace Rodrigues, Founder and CEO of Pickleball Kingdom in a press release. “This community has always had incredible energy and enthusiasm for the sport. With stronger local ownership and an enhanced member experience, Pickleball Kingdom is committed to delivering the excellence, professionalism, and community focus that the community deserves.”

“Pickleball Kingdom is more than just courts. It is a place where people come to stay active, meet friends, and unwind,” Reddy said. “Member feedback matters to us, and we will continue improving so that Pickleball Kingdom is a place you are excited to be part of, not just today, but for years to come.”
