Brentwood’s former Stein Mart is about to trade discount racks for dink shots. On May 11, Crush Yard is set to open at 300 Franklin Road, turning the big-box space into a roughly 33,400-square-foot “eatertainment” complex with eight indoor pickleball courts, a full restaurant and bar, and room for leagues, lessons and open play. The concept, already tested in Charleston and Orlando, aims to keep everything under one roof: competition, casual play, food, drinks and events. Neighbors have watched the remodel unfold for months as the national brand prepares its move into the Nashville market.
Opening Day And What You'll Find
Crush Yard told local reporters it will open May 11, with the Brentwood club lined up to offer leagues, memberships and drop-in court times, according to FOX 17, which notes a sponsorship relationship with the company. CEO David Hack told the station, “With pickleball growing as fast as it is, we're thrilled to bring Crush Yard's welcoming, high-energy atmosphere to Nashville's robust food and entertainment scene.” The outlet also points out that the site is the old Stein Mart on Franklin Road.
Lease, Size And Backers
Crush Yard first announced its Brentwood lease in mid-2024, stating that the location would span about 33,400 square feet and feature eight courts, a gourmet kitchen, private event rooms and an arcade, in a press release distributed via PR Newswire. That announcement also highlighted a slate of investors and partners tied to the brand and initially projected an earlier opening window before the timeline settled on this spring date.
Why Brentwood?
Local coverage notes that a ribbon-cutting with the Williamson County Chamber was scheduled as the buildout neared completion, signaling that the project is being framed as part of Franklin Road’s evolving evening economy, according to Williamson Source. Nearby business owners and indoor pickleball players in the area have said the facility is expected to add year-round options for both casual players and organized leagues.
Memberships, Booking And Early Access
The Crush Yard website currently lists the Nashville/Brentwood location as “Coming Early 2026” and outlines passholder perks, lessons and private-event bookings on its Nashville page. The site notes that early members typically receive discounted rates and preview access before the general opening, and it promotes app-based court reservations along with food-and-drink ordering.
