Business Description
Winmark Corporation is a Minneapolis-based franchisor that helps entrepreneurs run secondhand retail stores across the United States and Canada under well-known brands such as Plato's Closet, Once Upon A Child, Style Encore, Play It Again Sports, and Music Go Round. Each of these stores buys and resells quality used goods ? ranging from children's clothing and toys to sporting equipment and musical instruments ? giving customers affordable alternatives to buying new. Beyond franchising, the company also provides equipment leasing services through its Winmark Capital division.
