Ace Pickleball Club

Ace Pickleball Club (APC), a rapidly expanding national pickleball franchise with a community-focused approach, is opening a facility in Bloomfield Township. The pickleball franchise currently has 125 locations in various stages of development, working on fulfilling its mission to make pickleball accessible to everyone, while empowering franchisees to build thriving businesses that energize their communities. The Bloomfield location at Hulet Drive and Franklin Road will become the second location in the state of Michigan when it opens in the fall of 2025, with a Grand Rapids location slated to open this summer. APC claims that they have perfected a game-changer in the industry of pickleball facilities by offering the following amenities: flexible all-day open play, with no need for reservations; courts that are organized by skill level for effortless pick-up games throughout the day; top-tier facilities with cushioned professional-grade courts; PlaySight camera tech for instant highlight reels; fresh balls for every match, and free paddle demos to ensure a premium experience; a community-centered approach with all-inclusive memberships, similar to a traditional gym, allowing for a hassle-free experience. This membership style also makes it easy to play, join clinics, or use ball machines all included at one price. “Pickleball isn’t just a sport; it’s a movement bringing people together,” said Conor Hawks, VP of Franchise Growth at APC.
