Ideal Candidate

What We Look for in New Resale Franchise Owners

At Winmark – the Resale Company®, finding the perfect candidate is crucial for the success of our resale franchises. That's why we're searching for enthusiastic, motivated individuals who share our values and understand that it's not just about selling products—it's about providing a memorable experience. We also want you to be properly capitalized, hard-working, process-oriented, and equipped with great people skills. Retail isn't for everyone, so we encourage you to talk to other franchisees so you can get a well-rounded sense of the business's day-to-day operations.

Transparency is important to us, so we'll give you all the necessary information right from the start. We believe that the evaluation process is a two-way street: a chance for us to learn about you and for you to see if our franchise is a good fit for your ambitions. After all, mutual success is the key to our future.

Although having prior knowledge of the brand you're interested in is useful, our training program will provide all the necessary tools and skills to help you succeed—so experience is not necessary. If you are motivated, organized, enjoy working with the public, and are willing to follow our proven system, you would make a great addition to one of Winmark's franchise brands.
