Milwaukee-based
Murko Capital Corp., the development group bringing
The Picklr indoor pickleball concept to Wisconsin, plans to open eight locations in the state over the next five years, including at least four in the Milwaukee area.
“We’ve been in active discussions on a number of properties in the Milwaukee area,” said
CJ Murray, director of investor relations for Murko Capital.
Utah-based The Picklr announced that its first Wisconsin location
will open in Green Bay in a 20,000-square-foot space at 2610 Holmgren Way.
Murko Capital, the Picklr’s Wisconsin franchise group, includes former Green Bay Packer and Wisconsin Badger
Mark Tauscher.
Murko Capital is seeking 20,000 to 40,000-square-foot spaces in high traffic areas, Murray said. Typical suitable locations are vacant big box retails spaces, but industrial buildings and flex spaces will also be considered, he said.
Tony Colvin of
Mid-America Real Estate is representing Murko Capital in seeking locations for The Picklr locations.
“We’re just looking to bring the indoor pickleball facilities to the places where people are and make it convenient for them to travel to,” Murray said.
