Franchise Business Training & Support

Taking Your Music Go Round® to the Next Level

Music Go Round is part of a franchise system that has been supporting unique retail franchise opportunities since 1988. If you don’t have a retail background—don’t worry! Most of our new franchisees do not come from retail, which is why our experienced training team is so important. The first thing you’ll notice about our team is the excitement and passion they bring to the training process.

Field Operations

An important benefit you gain with franchising is ongoing operational support. Most of our franchisees have never owned their own business before and very few have owned a retail location. Looking for a small business consultant ready to help you grow your business and reach your personal goals?

Look no further.  Winmark’s Field Operations Managers are retail experts with years of experience from some of the top retailers like, Guitar Center®, Target®, Best Buy®, Old Navy®, Kohl’s® and more.  They’re your front line partner and liaison to the rest of the home office team.

Marketing and Advertising

Music Go Round franchisees also have the support of a marketing team dedicated to delivering professionally produced television and radio commercials, digital marketing assets, event marketing materials, local store marketing programs and so much more.  As a Winmark franchisee, you will have access to a media buyer experienced in working with the Music Go Round brand.  They’ll work with you to lay out your media plan ensuring your marketing dollars are spent in the right places to generate the best return on your investment.
