Pickleball pandemonium is sweeping the country, with local sports stars Larry Fitzgerald and Devin Booker signing on as owners of Arizona’s Major League Pickleball franchise. Parks around the Valley are adding pickleball courts for public use and refurbishing underutilized tennis courts to meet the demand. But Michael Pollack, president and founder of Pollack Investments, says this popular paddle sport is starting a trend of its own in the retail sector.
“A big thing in the market this last year or so has been pickleball. Everybody who has a larger space is looking at converting to pickleball,” he says. “Malls are adding things to the mix that you wouldn’t have thought of five years ago, and I think we’ll see more of that as people realize that a lot of the boxes didn’t need to be as big as they were. We’ll see more of those get carved up.”
