A few quotes of note:
- Pickle Haus co-founder Graham Palmer shared his why pickleball is such a successful social sport: “You can play it very competitively, but you can also play it in a social way, where you can take turns playing, and eat and drink and enjoy yourself.”
- Jeff VanDixhorn, Pickle Haus co-founder, praised the courts at Pickle Haüs saying they are “probably the nicest courts you could ever play on. We did a five-layer DecoTurf cushioned surface. Every court is fenced on four sides which is a big deal. Most places you play, the ball is rolling across courts. The lighting is great. The facility has 24-foot ceilings, so it’s very open. Every court has a sitting area.”
