This week on the podcast, we wrap up our Kitchen franchise owner interviews with Tanner Evans and Mike Kelley from the brand-new Mountain Green, UT location. Their doors have only been open a couple of months, but they’re already making a big impact! They’re wrapping up their first leagues, are currently brainstorming fun things to bring to the players, and love showing up at open plays to connect with their community. Much like last week’s guests, Tanner and Mike’s story started in the workplace, grew into a friendship, and eventually led to a shared passion for pickleball. In this conversation, they share how Mike’s love for the sport convinced Tanner to jump in, what it’s been like starting fresh with a new facility, and how they’re shaping a space where players of all levels feel welcome and supported. It’s clear these two aren’t just about running a business, they’re about people first and then pickleball.
