Robert Thompson, the creator of Punch Bowl Social, has a new concept for Denver, and sports fans can't wait.
"Pickleball is a lifestyle, not a trend," says hospitality entrepreneur Robert Thompson,"You hear a lot about pickleball facilities opening, but they're not eatertainment concepts; they don't bring together the model I put together in 2010."
That model became Punch Bowl Social, which debuted in 2012 in a former Big Lots on Broadway and grew into a twenty-location national chain at its peak. Thompson stepped away from the brand in 2020 for other projects, but his focus is now back on eatertainment with. Next year, he'll open a complex that combines pickleball facilities with food and drink, in an atmosphere inspired by 1940s-era camp culture.
All that acreage and only fifteen courts…it would be nice if they could up the court density. Please also build one on the west side of the metro!We play on basketball courts in wintertime. Basketball is not the only sport, and we all pay taxes for rec centers. There is a huge demand for pickleball courts.That banging noise…hope it is all contained to maintain the peace. If people living nearby can hear the banging, then there will be lawsuits. It’s 70 dB, Way more than what any HOA will allow.
