Dill Dinkers™ Enters Dallas with 50-Unit Regional Development Deal

May 29, 2024, DALLAS, Texas – Today Dill Dinkers has announced its 14th regional development deal with business partners who have committed to the growth of locations in the area including Euless, Southlake, Keller, Frisco, Little Elm, McKinney, and Mansfield.

Backed by Justin Goehring and Brock Oldenkamp, the two entrepreneurs are thrilled to introduce a dedicated indoor pickleball concept and a year-round solution for players who are subdued by the Texas heat and southern wind. Goehring, as an established entrepreneur, spent his career with Verizon where he ran private distribution before venturing into the business as a franchisee himself in his late 20s, greatly expanding the footprint. In addition, he grew a truck business from 13 to 100 trucks for FedEx before spearheading his own franchise business. Today, Goehring owns Bazooka Charlie’s Barber Co., a barbershop franchise with seven locations and growing throughout Dallas. Meanwhile, Oldenkamp owns KNO Construction, a company that specializes in commercial and residential construction and is an avid real estate investor.

“After playing pickleball for ten minutes, I was hooked,” said Justin. “We noticed that there weren’t many pickleball courts here and are looking forward to providing players more court time year-round with high-quality indoor courts that create a safe place where players can have fun and improve their skills. We are thrilled to be early adopters of an emerging concept and appreciate the collaboration thus far with the executive team to develop the Dill Dinkers name and look forward to elevating the pickleball player experience in our community.”

Goehring’s experience as a seasoned franchisor and Oldenkamp’s expertise in real estate and construction, combined with their extensive knowledge operating Bazooka Charlie’s and KNO Construction, position the team to develop a strong franchise network as Dill Dinkers regional developers. The team is thrilled to extend Dill Dinker’s vision of spreading the joy of pickleball.

“Justin and Brock are exactly the type of developers we are looking for”, said Dr. Ben Litalien, Chief Development Officer at Dill Dinkers. “The pair believe in the power of pickleball to drive impact locally and we’re excited to support them as they build something special for Dallas and the Dill Dinkers family for years to come.”
