The Plato’s Closet Difference
When seeking an investment opportunity, the first question on your mind is most likely about what makes one franchise different from the next. While many franchises may offer much of the same, Plato’s Closet sets itself apart with a truly unique opportunity.
As a resale franchise owner, you can expect the following:
- The backing and support of a proven franchisor with more than three decades of franchising experience
- Comprehensive training, ongoing support, and marketing assistance to ensure your success
- Access to a powerful POS system and online cloud platform that assists with pricing and reporting
- Established relationships with third-party vendors
- A robust corporate infrastructure that is ready to support the needs of our franchisees
Our teen resale franchise has been steadily growing with the help of our franchise partners over the past ten years. During this period, we are proud to report a 99% renewal rate on all franchise agreements. This means that at the end of their franchising contract, 99% of our franchisees choose to renew their contracts and stay in business with us, which is a true testament to our franchisees' hard work and dedication as well as our unwavering commitment to building their businesses and expanding our beloved brands.
We have always valued these relationships of mutual support and trust, and it has resulted in an incredible level of success.
