Music Go Round^® Franchise Opportunities

How Our Musical Instrument Resale Franchise is Changing the Industry

Music Go Round is the world's largest seller of used musical equipment and gear, and we offer a great opportunity for music enthusiasts. Our passionate owners have helped establish us in this thriving $8 billion industry, and we have become a go-to source for musicians everywhere.

As a Music Go Round franchisee, you will become a Winmark – the Resale Company® brand, which is a powerful and innovative company with many years of experience in franchising. You will have access to the guidance and support of a strong franchise network, which will help you navigate the challenges of running a small business.

All over North America, Music Go Round franchises have become places where musicians gather to talk gear, buy high-quality, affordable equipment, and sell their own gear to us. In fact, we buy used gear all day, every day, ensuring that our inventory is constantly changing and offering our customers something new! This unique, retail resale niche in the marketplace has proven to build brand loyalty and enthusiasm with our customers and, because we often work with franchisees who are much like our target customers, our musical instrument franchise continues to forge a powerful reputation in music communities all over the U.S.

We operate in a critical and enticing niche inside the retail marketplace and we have a 99% renewal rate among our owners. 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 makes us very proud of how we operate!

Music Go Round Store Owners Love to Franchise with Winmark

"Becoming an owner of Music Go Round helped me turn my life around. Even after fighting unemployment, I was able to open my own business."
- Kevin J.
"We are a well-respected local business that has become an important part of the arts and culture community and provides a model for economic and environmental sustainability"
- Phil C.
"Doing my homework, I found that Winmark had a good concept in dealing mainly with used items, keeping the competition at a minimum. After meeting the Winmark crew, I felt that they would be able to provide good support with the initial opening of my store,"
- Kevin D.
"If you'd consider "doing it again" which means continuing to grow and expand, yeah I've done that. [...] Just last year, [I] built a new place and I think we were the largest square footage and we still are the largest."
- Doug C.
"We have been musicians most of our lives and Music Go Round offered an opportunity to start a new career in that field. Everyday we get to interact with other musicians."
- Melinda & David S.
"We are known as “THE” pro shops to go to in the Denver location. People trust our reputation for their gear."
- Jason A.
