Established Specialty Tennis & Pickleball Equipment Shop - 22 Years in Business
This turnkey sporting goods operation has served its community since 2004, establishing itself as the sole provider of performance-level tennis and pickleball equipment in the region. Located in a community that values supporting local businesses, this 662 square foot retail space generates $200,000 in annual revenue with $56,789 in seller's discretionary earnings.
Business Highlights:
• Exclusive market position - only performance equipment provider in county and beyond
• Strong community support preferring local over chain stores
• Established partnerships with tennis pros, clubs, and high schools
• Complete inventory tracking through Square POS system
• $50,000 inventory value
• Lease secured through May 2031 at $2,250/month
• $5,000 in fixtures, furniture & equipment
Growth Opportunities:
• Expand operating hours (currently closes afternoons)
• Develop e-commerce capabilities using existing Square system
• Increase pickleball inventory to capitalize on 9-15% market growth
• Enhanced social media marketing to active local tennis/pickleball community
• Leverage industry trends: tennis participation up 54% since 2019, pickleball market expected to double by 2032
Market Position:
While 75-78% of tennis equipment sales remain offline due to customers' need for hands-on product evaluation, this business benefits from minimal local competition. The largest local competitor, Big 5 Sporting Goods, lacks performance equipment and racquet restringing services.
Support Included:
Sellers offer comprehensive training, introductions to teaching pros, institutional customers, and sales representatives. Established relationships with local tennis professionals and clubs provide ongoing customer referrals.
Financing:
Seller financing available. Asking price $119,500.
This represents an excellent opportunity for an owner-operator to acquire an established business with significant growth potential in expanding racquet sports markets.

About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 18
- Employees
- 5 Part-time
While we pay employees, best income opportunity is for an owner-operator - Facilities & Assets
- Assets include a Wilson Baiardo Stringing Machine, front counter, Square POS system, slat walls & hooks, floor display racks, shelving, and an older Gamma 6500 stringing machine as a back-up in case of emergency. Also included is a database of 1700 email addresses, Facebook and Instagram accounts with about 530 followers, the domain name, and an older website. It is a highly rated operation with 4.8 rating on Google and 4.6 on Yelp.
- Market Outlook / Competition
- The store is the sole provider of performance-level tennis and pickleball equipment in the county and the county to the west. Our only local competitor is Big 5, but they do not sell performance equipment nor restring racquets. The store is located in a community that values supporting local small business over chains stores.
The US market for Tennis Equipment is projected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 1.8% to 2.2% through 2030; the USTA reported that tennis participation is up 54% since 2019, with over 23.6 million players in the US.
For Pickleball Equipment, forecasts suggest a global CAGR of 9% to 15%, with some segments like pickleball shoes and apparel expected to grow faster. The market for pickleball equipment is on track to nearly double by 2032.
Specialty Retail Advantage: Despite the rise of Amazon, 75% to 78% of tennis equipment sales still happen offline in specialty shops. Players value "touch and feel" for racquets and professional shoe fittings. - Opportunities for Growth
- There is an incredible opportunity for a new owner to revitalize marketing efforts by upgrading the existing website for e-commerce. With the entire inventory already recorded and tracked in a Square POS system, Square offers services to get products listed online and start selling relatively quickly. In addition, there is untapped potential for an increase in pickleball-related sales, which is underrepresented in current inventory stocks.
Increasing social media presence will also bring opportunities to expand the customer base. The community has an active tennis and pickleball community who need to know about new products and services.
In addition, because current ownership closes the shop mid-afternoons for teaching and coaching tennis, there is an opportunity to expand operating hours to better serve customers.
