FitnessPicklr Franchise runs 24 pickleball facilities out of its Utah headquarters, 22 franchised and 2 company-owned. Procurement runs through a designated-suppliers-only model under Item 8, while Canva, QuickBooks and Revel already show up in franchisee operations without being contractually required. At a $1,101,660 average unit volume and 7% royalty, this is a small system worth sizing up for software fit.

The vendor opportunity at Picklr Franchise Picklr Franchise operates 24 pickleball facilities out of its Utah headquarters — 22 franchised, 2 company-owned — with a $1,101,660 average unit volume and a 7% royalty on sales. The FDD makes a financial performance representation in Item 19. For a vendor evaluating fit, that combination of scale and disclosed unit economics makes this a system worth sizing up now.
Who controls software purchasing Item 2 names the franchisor's officers. Purchasing runs through Item 8, which designates suppliers only: franchisees must buy required equipment, supplies, fixtures, inventory, goods, services and products from the franchisor or its authorized, designated or required suppliers and distributors. Franchisees may propose an alternate supplier for approval, which gives a vendor two paths in: a direct pitch to the franchisor, or a franchisee-initiated approval request.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required None of the systems the FDD lists are mandated. Canva, QuickBooks by Intuit, Qvinci and Revel by Revel Systems appear as tools already in use; DUPR and QuickBooks Online by Intuit are named in the filing without being tied to any requirement.
Procurement, renewals, and timing Operator data shows 2 mapped operators, one of them multi-unit, spread across roughly 6 located units, concentrated in Illinois, Virginia, Minnesota and Texas. Item 17 sets a 5-year successor term: franchisees must sign the then-current franchise agreement (which may carry materially different terms), stay current on payments, sign a release, and pay a successor franchise fee. That renewal point is a natural moment to reopen a vendor conversation. Picklr Franchise is part of the Picklr parent, worth checking for group-level purchasing decisions.
