Utahns are not only playing pickleball, but they’re turning the fast-growing sport into a money-making business.

Katy Luxem, founder & CEO of Big Dill Pickleball Co., is one of them. She started her small business in 2020 as more people discovered pickleball during the pandemic.

The 38-year-old grew up playing the sport in school during physical education. Luxem is from Washington State, where the game reportedly began in the 1960s. It combines elements of badminton, ping-pong, and tennis. Moreover, it’s played on a court smaller than one you’d find in the game of tennis. “It’s really cool to see our product in the wild,” she said. “We’ve grown like 100 percent, year over year, every year we’ve been in operation."
