In addition to this open yard are six indoor and four outdoor pickleball courts and a micro-kitchen with an outdoor grill. The versatile center space could be used for live music, watch parties, ice skating, or other events. The venue is reminiscent of a town square, with activities positioned around a central, tree-lined courtyard. Bill Crooks, chief experience officer for Chicken N Pickle, describes the updated design as a visual manifestation of the brand’s commitment to community and farm-to-table offerings. Charles, Missouri, will be the first to showcase Populous’ new prototype. Out of those upcoming destinations, the unit in St. Charles, Missouri and Glendale, Arizona-are scheduled to open in either late 2022 or early 2023. The concept operates six locations in multiple states, including North Kansas City, Missouri Wichita and Overland Park, Kansas Oklahoma City and San Antonio, Texas.
Not only because it's just a really interesting concept and a really wonderful experience at Chicken N Pickle, but also, it just fits right in with what we do every day here at Populous.”įounded in 2016, Chicken N Pickle outlets boast as many as 12 pickleball courts, large spaces for performances and picnic staging, a sports bar, private dining sections, and a scratch kitchen. And so I feel like between our storytelling, how we like to get to know a brand, and also just the way that we think about how a person can use their space, that is the reason why this project is extremely exciting to us. “And so the experience is not necessarily always on a grand scale, the experience is more intimate. “It may seem a little funny, but at the same time, we specialize in the experience,” Paoli says. So when the opportunity came up to design a new prototype for the Kansas City, Missouri-based Chicken N Pickle-a young and growing community gathering spot for pickleball players and more-the partnership felt natural, especially given Populous’ focus on architecture, sports, and entertainment. The scale is massive, but as Populous principal Mason Paoli explains, the company is not so much focused on the size of the project as it is creating a unique environment. Populous, a global design firm with an Americas headquarters in Kansas City, Missouri, has played a part in some of the most iconic venues in the U.S., including Yankee Stadium, the Olympics, the Super Bowl, Camden Yards (home of the Baltimore Orioles), and Climate Pledge Arena (home of the Seattle Kraken and Seattle Storm).
