Resolve to Pursue Your Passion with Winmark in 2025

|

And just like that, it’s 2025. For most of us, a new year feels like an opportunity for a fresh beginning: It’s a chance to eat better, exercise regularly, get organized … even to start a new business. Resolve to make this the year that you pursue your passion and follow your dreams.

We aren’t suggesting that you leap into the unknown, of course. Just as you would with any resolution, you must consider your goals and then form a plan to achieve them. But you also don’t have to do this alone. Over the past 30-plus years, we have helped more than 1,300 franchise owners open and operate their own successful businesses, and we can help you.

Why Do Brands’ Mission and Values Matter?

One great way to identify the business opportunity that’s right for you is to research a company’s mission and values. Winmark’s brands – Plato’s Closet, Once Upon A Child, Play It Again Sports, Style Encore and Music Go Round – are leaders in the resale retail industry and in sustainability, recycling more than 182 million items per year.

On a mission to Provide Resale for EveryoneÒ, Winmark franchise owners throughout the U.S. and Canada embrace their unique opportunity to help the environment while playing key roles in their communities – supporting local organizations, providing jobs for their neighbors and offering local families affordable options for quality resale goods in a polished retail environment.

Winmark is committed to sound business practices and corporate responsibility to helping franchisees succeed. Franchisees are set up for success from Day 1 by receiving clear information on startup costs and expectations. Additionally, the stores’ focus on resale of high-quality goods helps owners avoid high overhead costs.

This winning formula has enabled nearly half of franchise owners to manage multiple locations and often, multiple brands.
