The phenomenon that is pickleball continues to sweep the nation, and now, the spotlight is firmly on Gwinnett County. Competitive Social Ventures, the visionary minds behind the innovative Pickle and Social pickleball eatertainment brand, are cordially inviting discerning investors to join their latest venture.
In a groundbreaking announcement on June 1, 2023, CSV declared the commencement of its Series B investment drive. This initiative is set to bankroll an impressive collection of eleven themed eatertainment destinations.
