Site & viability analysis
We analyse the catchment for your candidate site and model the right number of courts, the investment required, and payback scenarios — from our own centre's real numbers.
FRANCHISE
Start a padel business with people who have already done it
Padel Society is not a consultancy. We built the centre, filled it with members, ran the leagues, and operate the app and the equipment distribution ourselves. We've turned that whole process into a system and hand it over intact.
- We run our own centre in Gimpo
- Sole NOX distributor for Korea
- Playus, our own app
MARKET TIMING
Why padel, and why now
The fastest-growing racket sport in the world, in a Korean market where supply still falls short of demand. Here are the numbers.
30M+
Padel players worldwide
Padel is the fastest-growing racket sport in the world. It has already overtaken tennis in Spain, and courts are going up rapidly across Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia.
Early market
Korea is only just starting
There are still very few padel courts in Korea — an early market where supply falls far short of demand. Whoever opens now sets the standard for their area.
4 players · 2 courts
High court turnover
Two padel courts fit in the footprint of one tennis court, and each court holds four players. That structure produces far more revenue per square metre than tennis.
30 minutes
Low barrier, wide audience
Someone who has never held a racket can rally within 30 minutes. That opens it up from 20s–30s looking for something active, to 40s–50s clubs, to juniors.
ONE-STOP SOLUTION
Most partners build your courts and leave.
For us that's where it starts
From site consulting to running the community — six stages proven at our own centre, transferred as a single system.

02Construction
Court construction · NOX equipment
As NOX's sole Korean distributor we build with regulation court materials and equipment at direct distributor cost. No middleman margin.
03Training
Pre-opening & staff training
We train your coaches and managers through the PSA certification course, and design your opening promotion and first member drive with you.
04Systems
Playus as your operating system
Court booking, membership, payments, social matches — the Playus app we built ourselves comes with the franchise as your operating system. No separate software cost.
05Content
Academy & content transfer
The PSA standard curriculum, the PAR rating system, and the league and tournament playbooks transfer as-is, so you can run academy and league programmes from day one.
06Community
Building the community
The Padel Community on Naver Cafe and cross-location leagues and tournaments give members a reason to keep coming back. This is a community business, not court rental.
Scenario-by-scenario projections from our own centre's data are shared at the business briefing.

WHY PADEL SOCIETY
What only this franchise can offer
Centre, academy, app, community, equipment — terms that are only possible because head office runs all five itself.
An operating model proven at our own centre
We build your business case on real numbers from the Gimpo centre — utilisation, average spend, and the revenue mix across programmes.

As NOX's sole distributor we supply court materials, rackets and balls at distributor prices. That changes both your build cost and your pro-shop margin.
Our own app as the operating system
Instead of paying commission to a third-party booking platform, you run on Playus — built specifically for padel.
PAR and tournament infrastructure
You plug straight into the nationwide PAR rating and the cross-location tournament network. A new location is part of that network from the day it opens.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The questions prospective owners ask most. Anything else, just bring it to the consultation.
Can I do this if I know nothing about padel?
Yes. Owner onboarding — padel basics plus day-to-day operations — is part of the process, and head office helps you hire and train your first coaches. That said, owners who play themselves do tend to find the community side easier.
How much space do I need?
Indoors, roughly 200㎡ (20m × 10m) per court plus circulation space, with a ceiling height of 6m or more recommended. Two to three courts is the most common way to start. We'll walk you through outdoor, rooftop and air-dome builds during the consultation.
What's the investment, and how long is payback?
It varies too much with court count, lease terms and indoor vs outdoor to give one number. At the business briefing we share scenario-by-scenario projections built on our own centre's real data.
Can I convert an existing tennis or screen-golf facility?
Yes, and it's often an advantage. Two padel courts fit in one tennis court's footprint, and your existing membership converts with you. We'll survey the site and quote the conversion.
How does head office make money?
We're transparent about the franchise fee, construction (supplied direct at distributor cost) and royalty structure during the consultation. The whole thing is designed so head office only does well if the location does.
