Why Play It Again Sports?

For many of our franchisees, Play It Again Sports is an opportunity to engage in one of their passions—sports and fitness—while simultaneously allowing them to build a vibrant, robust business in their community. Play It Again Sports is also family-oriented, and its "trade in and trade up" approach to resale makes it a perfect equipment source for families with growing children who play in local leagues and on school teams and are constantly in need of quality equipment at affordable prices.

Beyond that, though, our Play It Again Sports franchisees continue to have success with us and renew their Winmark franchise agreements due to our long-term commitment to training and support. We're proud to provide our franchisees the tools and resources they need to sustain and grow their business.

  • Our extensive franchisee training program
