We can ’ t wait to continue to take our pop-up shop to exciting new pickleball tournament destinations . We are also planning to launch a new jojo + lo collection for kids ! We want to do more wholesaling to pickleball stores around the country and potentially sell through a third-party distributor , and possibly Amazon . We are partnering with professional pickleball players and pickleball social media influencers who want to represent our brand and earn commissions from their sales . We want to continue to create and help change the image of pickleball — one graphic tee at a time . Jojo and I are passionate about our fashions and giving the sport of pickleball a makeover , while keeping our promise to our customers : no dancing pickles , no pickleballs with smiley faces and no fluorescent green !
