Pickleball facility franchisor files for bankruptcy

Pickleball facility franchisor The Picklr filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

The Picklr officials said an investor group led by one of its franchisees has pledged $4.5 million in financing.

Founder and CEO Jorge Barragan said the bankruptcy filing is due, in part, to the company serving as a guarantor for facility lease payments for some early franchisees.
