NORTH BETHESDA, MD — JOOLA, a leading maker of pickleball and table tennis equipment, is moving its headquarters to 915 Meeting Street, a new 276,000-square-foot office building at the Pike & Rose in North Bethesda.

According to a news release, JOOLA is taking a total of 35,407 square feet and will move from its current location in Rockville in late 2024. Its space will include JOOLA’s corporate headquarters, its first retail space on the street level of the building between Bouboulina, a new concept from the founders of CAVA, and One Medical, and creating the building's first pickleball studio space.

“Pike & Rose gives us the perfect balance of city and suburban locale, a great amount of amenities within walking distance, and a wide array of commuter options,” said Richard Lee, CEO of JOOLA. “JOOLA has outgrown its current location, and this new headquarters gives us the flexibility to continue to expand our team while also opening our first concept retail location.”
