Augusta-location pickleball gamers might be getting a brand-new set of courts where they can play all day and all night; a young Mexican restaurant franchise is dishing out street tacos and more at Augusta Mall; an animal supply store in Grovetown is making trendy, customized collars and leashes by hand; and a brand-new physical fitness center worries the personal touch.
Here’s a short take a look at openings, closings and other modifications in Augusta-location business:
24-Hour Pickleball
WEB GAINS: Augusta is on a business owner’s list of places to open 24-hour pickleball courts.
In late 2022, 24-Hour Pickleball acquired property at 4590 Augusta Rd., simply east of Lexington, S.C., with a guarantee by this summertime to build what task supervisor Mitch Craps is billing as South Carolina’s biggest indoor pickleball center.
“Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the country right now,” Craps said in a declaration. “Our club will give members of our community the chance to learn, play, and compete in a climate-controlled, state-of-the-art facility.”
Pickleball obtains aspects of tennis, badminton and table tennis. Players utilize paddles to bat a baseball-sized perforated plastic ball over a 3-foot-tall internet, on a court about one-third the size of a tennis court.
According to 24-Hour Pickleball’s website, 5 more places – consisting of Augusta – tentatively have actually been selected as future locations. The other 4 are Greenville and Charleston in South Carolina, and Charlotte and Asheville in North Carolina.

mom taco
LITTLE MOM: A rural-Chicago-based Mexican restaurant chain has actually opened its very first area in Augusta and simply its 5th area across the country.
Taco Madre held a pre-grand opening July 20 and its main grand opening and ribbon-cutting July 22 in its brand-new space at Augusta Mall, Suite D225.
With the slogan “Mexican street tacos meet upscale fusion dining,” Taco Madre opened its very first area in Montgomery, Ill., in 2014. Other dining establishments opened around the Chicago location in Naperville, North Aurora and St. Charles.
The menu consists of traditional Mexican fare and “Madre Tacos,” which are chef-inspired tacos with active ingredients such as fried avocados, tiger shrimp and Korean-design grilled beef.
Advanced Personal Fitness
EXERCISE PALS: A brand-new Columbia County physical fitness studio stresses individually attention with customers wanting to get in shape.
Advanced Personal Fitness opened at 355 Furys Ferry Rd.
Owner Zackary Morris chose to pursue a profession in personal training as he trained fellow trainees at the Recreation Activity Center at Georgia Southern University, where he made a degree in business management and minored in workout science.
With new equipment, Advanced is more of a little physical fitness studio, which does not have a big, congested health club’s capacity to daunt starting exercisers.
“I have a consult with each client where we dig into goals, nutrition, health, etc., where I’ll then form a personalized plan just for them and teach the ins and outs of working out while demonstrating proper form and technique,” Morris said.
Though the business name says “Advanced,” Morris and his group of certified fitness instructors deal with customers of all ability levels to produce bespoke workout strategies. He said he’s trained customers as young as 13 and as old as 87.
