Pickleball Galaxy is the pickleball-focused offshoot of Racquetworld, a racquetball equipment retailer founded in 1995 by racquetball standout Pat Bernardo, who was an early adopter of online sales starting in 1998. Based in a 20,000-square-foot warehouse in Clifton Park, New York, Pickleball Galaxy launched in 2018 and expanded quickly once the COVID-era pickleball boom hit; the company promises price-matching against any authorized dealer. Charmingly, the warehouse floor has a pickleball court permanently lined into the concrete — a longtime dream of founder Bernardo — but it currently sits unusable, buried under boxes of inventory. Customers are welcome to drop in, and the company periodically runs tent sales for demo paddles and lightly-used shoe returns. It holds a 4.9 rating across 151 Google reviews (a related listing shows 4.5/19).
