Chicken N Pickle, the indoor/outdoor eatertainment complex with pickleball courts and casual dining, plans to open its newest location in Allen, Texas, on May 13.
The North Kansas City, Mo.-based company said the Allen location will be the fifth in Texas and the 12th overall.
The new Allen Chicken N Pickle will be the third in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Located at The Farm, a mixed-use development, Chicken N Pickle Allen is expected to cover nearly four acres with a multi-level location. With more than 55,000 square feet inside the fence, it features dining areas on two levels, a sports bar, six indoor and two covered outdoor pickleball courts, beer gardens and cornhole, battleship, giant Jenga, and other yard games.
Chicken N Pickle Allen also offers “pickleball for all” with sports wheelchairs and “all abilities” programming.
“At Chicken N Pickle, we pioneered the perfect blend of delicious food, craft cocktails, and the popular sport of pickleball,” Brad Clarke, Chicken N Pickle CEO, said in a statement. “We like to think of our concept as the ultimate backyard hangout – one you’ll never want to leave.”
With the Allen opening and backed by National Football League stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, Chicken N Pickle will have opened 12 locations since 2017, with four more locations in Indiana, Nebraska and Colorado scheduled for completion by early 2026.
Besides Allen, Grapevine, and Grand Prairie, Chicken N Pickle has locations in San Antonio and Webster, Texas; North Kansas City and St. Charles, Mo.; Overland Park and Wichita, Kan.; Oklahoma City, Okla.; Glendale, Ariz.; and Henderson, Nev.
“We’re dedicated to being the top pickleball entertainment destination as we grow nationwide, while still maintaining a personal touch and strong local connections in every community,” Dave Johnson, founder of Chicken N Pickle, said.
The menu includes rotisserie dishes available in four different seasonings and made with antibiotic- and hormone-free chicken, pork and beef sandwiches, as well as fries and tots. Other items include smoked wings and customizable PowerBowls.
Like every location, Chicken N Pickle Allen employs a full-time community impact coordinator whose job is to “find a way every day to make a positive impact in the community” through service-oriented programming.
“We’re thrilled to be part of the Allen community and believe that thriving in business goes hand-in-hand with giving back to the community that supports us,” Kelli Alldredge, president of Chicken N Pickle, said.
