Congratulations to three Winmark franchisees who each opened new stores
July 28 along the East Coast.
In Hamden, CT, new franchisee Rick Myers opened his first Plato’s
Closet. A DJ kept the customers energized while they waited in line for
the doors to open – and when they did, sneakers were the hot item
on everyone’s list in Hamden.

Multiple-store owners Julie and Ryan Simmons opened their first Once Upon
A Child in Dickson City, PA. They also own the Plato’s Closet and
Style Encore in Dickson City, as well as the Plato’s Closet in Allentown.
Shoppers found a tent full of strollers, play yards and other great equipment
– and kids found a petting zoo, mini-ponies, ducks and chickens.

And south of that in Daytona Beach, FL, new franchisees Dan and Cathy Carlson
opened their first Once Upon A Child. The weather was hot and so were
the great deals inside the beautiful, new store.
