Padel Nuestro has continued its international expansion by entering the UK retail market, one of Europe's fastest-growing padel markets. The company has opened a new store in Manchester, strategically located close to some of the city's leading padel clubs.
With this opening, Padel Nuestro becomes the first European padel specialist retailer with a physical presence in the United Kingdom, further strengthening its international leadership. The company now operates 68 physical stores worldwide, including 29 in Spain, offering a catalogue of nearly 8,000 products, ranging from padel rackets and footwear to apparel and accessories.
María Victoria Castillo, General Manager of Padel Nuestro, commented: "Padel is experiencing tremendous growth in the United Kingdom, and entering the British retail market at this moment represents one of the most significant milestones in Padel Nuestro's international expansion. Manchester is our first store in the country, and we couldn't have chosen a better starting point: the city is home to nearly 40 padel clubs and a truly passionate padel community."
She added: "We want players to find not only the best products here, but also the advice and expertise that have made us a global benchmark. With this opening, British players now have access, close to home, to the same level of specialisation and product variety that until now they often had to look for abroad. And this is only the beginning."
The rapid growth of padel in the United Kingdom
Padel Nuestro's arrival reflects the rapid expansion of padel across the UK. According to the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA), the number of players has grown from 15,000 in 2019 to more than 860,000 by the end of 2025.
Within this landscape, Manchester has emerged as one of the country's leading padel hubs, with 38 clubs and 145 courts, confirming its strategic importance for the continued growth of the sport.
Player Passport: building a global padel community
To coincide with the summer travel season, Padel Nuestro has also launched its new Player Passport, an initiative encouraging players to discover the company's international retail network across Europe, the Americas and Africa.
Customers who visit and make purchases in participating stores can collect exclusive passport stamps and qualify for prizes worth up to €1,500. More than a loyalty programme, the initiative aims to transform every trip into an opportunity to experience the Padel Nuestro brand while becoming part of a global community connected by a shared passion for padel.
