WHO WE ARE

Co-founded by twin brothers Sam and Alex Nordheimer, Padel Plant developed into a true family business when first cousin Kyle joined the brothers to develop, expand, and implement their concept. A family of entrepreneurs, sporting addicts, and pizza lovers, the Nordheimers are thrilled to bring the fun and high energy of padel, pickleball, pizza, and community back to the long dormant Haxall Power Plant.
