Michael’s expertise in bookkeeping and accounting adds valuable skillsets to the team, positioning them to effectively spearhead the expansion efforts.

“Everyone is talking about pickleball, and we saw a clear opportunity to fill a need for indoor clubs in a region with extreme weather conditions,” said Adam. “Through our Dill Dinkers clubs, we’ll continue to spread the joy of pickleball in a safe and welcoming way. We look forward to being a part of the sport’s growth and to offering an experience where community members come first.”

The Fialas’ collective expertise uniquely positions them to drive Dill Dinkers' mission forward, providing an indoor pickleball experience while positively impacting their local community.

“Adam, Janine and Michael are the kind of Dill Dinkers regional developers we were looking for,” said Dr. Ben Litalien, Chief Development Officer at Dill Dinkers. “Their ability to collaborate through their family business has honed their business acumen and teamwork. They have the passion for pickleball that we value, while clearly resonating with our mission. We’re eager to see what they have in store for their communities.”

"We started Dill Dinkers because of our passion for the sport and the community it has provided us,” said Co-Founder and CEO Will Richards. “As a former Dominos multi-unit franchisee, it was crucial for us to build a strong network of support. We look forward to seeing how the team extends our name in New Jersey and New York and how other entrepreneurs can benefit from an indoor pickleball offering and a strong network of support.”
