The Picklr Doubles Down on Long Island Announcing Commack Location

The Picklr, North America’s fastest-growing indoor pickleball franchise, announced today a lease signing for it second Long Island location. The 47,800 sq ft facility - The Picklr Commack – will feature 15 courts with professional-grade outdoor surfacing from Just Courts, the official court layer for The Professional Pickleball Association (PPA) and The Picklr.

The Picklr Commack, scheduled to open in 2026, will be located at 3124 Jericho Turnpike, East Northport, NY 11731, in the former Best Buy building next to the Stop & Shop. It will include a full pro-shop, locker room, private event space and much more. Conveniently situated just 4-miles from the Long Island Expressway (exit 51) and 2-miles from the Northern State Parkway (exit 42), it will join The Picklr Centereach as the second of a multi-unit Long Island strategy.

Since The Picklr memberships are valid at all locations nationwide, members of The Picklr Centereach (231 Centereach Mall) and The Picklr Commack essentially get two club memberships for the price of one as the clubs will be just 14-miles apart. Additionally, The Picklr Centereach members will be “grandfathered” into the grand opening pricing. So members can join The Picklr Centereach now and then be assured of the same pricing, if they choose to, make Commack their primary home. The Picklr Centereach is a 33,900 square-foot club with 11 courts opening in November.

The pricing model for the Commack location will be announced a few months before the grand opening. But for reference, The Picklr Centereach offers monthly membership of $149 (which includes a $40/month discount for life off the monthly rate) for Founder Members. Additionally, members who join for a full year receive two months free making the annual rate $1490. Rates and discounts for Commack are expected to be competitive, but by joining The Picklr Centereach now, members can lock in these Founder Member rates no matter which club they choose to join.

The Picklr Commack offers the best value in pickleball with one price for unlimited pickleball. Members will enjoy unlimited open play, league play, court reservations, four free guest passes and four free clinics every month. Learn more at https://thepicklr.com/location...

“The Picklr is the fastest growing brand in the fastest growing sport because it offers the best membership value in the sport. The Picklr Commack will be our flagship location, offering an unmatched club and member experience including 15 best-in-class courts, amenities and benefits,” said Syosset, NY resident Tom Neale, the Founder of Arete Sports Group and Pickleball Long Island, the franchisee with The Picklr rights to Long Island. “We understand that the monthly unlimited membership model is new for Long Islanders versus the current pay to play model. We believe that once players discover our first-class state-of-the-art premier facilities, an all-inclusive exceptional member experience, professional level playing conditions, and wide range of programs for every age and skill level, they’ll choose The Picklr as their home for pickleball.”

The Picklr Commack will be managed and operated by Arete Sports Group, which also operates Picklr franchises in Manahawkin-LBI, NJ, East Brunswick, NY and Centereach, NY as part of its growing portfolio of multi-location investments in the sport.

Rounding out the leadership team is Scott Schubiger the former Chief Growth Officer at The Picklr who played a key role in expanding the brand from a handful of clubs to over 500 sold nationwide. He brings strategic leadership, franchise operation experience, and corporate expertise to the venture. The Picklr owner-operator group negotiated lease with the support of Mani Nagpal of Global Realty Services USA and the Sterling Organization.
