Competitive social enterprises are securing two new sites

ATLANTA, September 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Competitive Social Ventures (CSV) announced today that it has secured two leading sites in the North Atlantic to showcase Pickle & Social, its latest unique entertainment venue. The first location will be developed on the northeast of Interstate 85 and Highway 20 at The Exchange @ Gwinnett, a multi-purpose entertainment center with shops, restaurants and residential areas anchored by Top Golf and Andretti Indoor Carting. Another site in downtown Alpharetta at the intersection of Old Milton Parkway and Roswell Street allows the introduction of all three CSV brands; Pickle & Social, Roaring Social and Fairway Social are presented within a half-mile radius of each other. Earlier this month, CSV opened Roaring Social in Alpharettas ’new four-star boutique hotel in The Hamilton. The first Fairway Social opened on CSV discs earlier this year and has been a success right away. The first Pickle & Social site is expected to premiere in early summer 2022.

In addition to modern indoor and outdoor ball courts, Pickle & Social’s early models include a functional outdoor space called The Yard for private and corporate events, a rooftop bar overlooking its championship fields, 10 cross-country bands through a CSV strategic partnership with the American Cornhole League and Wolfe Training Academy , led by top pickleball player Chris Wolfe. There is also a varied menu and a selection of drinks, including both hearty and healthy smoothies, fresh salads, delicious small plates and local drink options.

Pickle & Social will be a huge added value in both Alpharetta and The Exchange, and as we bring new jobs to the area, we will also be involved in the activities of both local communities through Return Back Wednesdays by supporting local non-profit organizations. Our continued commitment to our investor community has always been a rigorous and disciplined approach to capital allocation. Our brand is geared towards delivering strong returns and high margins while reducing the risks and exposures typically associated with commercial development, said Neal Freeman, CEO of CSV.

The Yard is the perfect place for friends and family to gather, with access to a full-service restaurant and designed for outdoor concerts, private and corporate events, league games, amateur and pro-pickleball and table tennis tournaments, clinics and more. Other features include a rooftop bar, retail store, bocce ball and pet-friendly outdoor air. Pickle & Social welcomes pickleball players of all levels to enjoy their own pitches with group seating and entertainment.

Pickleball’s popularity is growing exponentially across all demo and psychography subjects. The spread of the species is due to its popularity in community centers, physical education classes, public parks, private health clubs, YMCA facilities, and retirement communities. Its growing popularity is also largely due to the regional ambassadors for the sport, who are promoting pickleball and introducing the game to more and more communities. Two of these ambassadors join the Pickle & Social team. Chris Wolfe serves as principal and Mark Price as principal teacher.

Our goal is to provide a unique indoor and outdoor entertainment venue with best-in-class pickleball courts with state-of-the-art lighting in a fully activated and engaged space, unlike anyone else has seen, said Joe Reardon, CSV partner. We are proud to announce our Senior Pickleball Training Director to all of our locations. Chris Wolfes ’passion and desire to teach and grow the sport is unparalleled in the industry. In addition, Mark Price (@MarkPricePickleball) is one of Georgia’s best pickleball instructors and leads all of Chriss’s team’s core classes.

CSV’s Pickle & Social concept is like nothing else I’ve seen anywhere in the U.S., and I couldn’t be any more excited to be a part of helping develop our brand, Wolfe said. Their vision has been realized in the first two brands, and Pickle & Social will soon be in all major markets. I look forward to being able to offer the ultimate pickleball practice, local and pro tournament events in our locations that the industry is proud of.

All CSV venues participate in Give Back Wednesday events, where 10% of that day’s top-notch sales are donated to organizations worthy of the local community. The latest news and even more information about Pickle & Social follows us on Facebook.
