On behalf of the entire Winmark team, and our franchise family of over 850 franchisees and 1,295
stores, we want to thank you for your initial interest in joining our family. As you may know,
Winmark Corporation is the proud leader of 5 resale retail brands that are family-friendly,
value-oriented and focused on community service. Our brands have been on the forefront of
sustainability by doing our part by building a business model around the idea of reducing the
amount of waste by giving consumers the chance to buy and sell quality used items. We are extremely
proud of our franchisees who represent our great brands in the US and Canada and are thrilled you
are interested in joining us.

At Music Go Round®, music literally does make our world go round! For our customers, music is an
integral part of their life, whether they are serious musicians still gigging or just starting up
on their first band instrument. They rely on us for best-in-class customer service, product
knowledge and news on the local music scene. Our relationship is built on trust – the confidence
they put in us to help them make the right decisions on the right instrument for their talent
level. We are not just another musical instrument shop. We are a community-based marketplace that
buys from and sells to our customers every day. So integrity, honesty and character are critical
components to your success.

Our mission is to continue to deliver high-quality used and new merchandise in a fun and convenient
environment, while doing good for our world as well. Many of our franchisees are musicians
themselves, and they take great pride in their role in the local community of musicians, helping to
recycle the instruments and the stories that go with them to their customers.

At Winmark®, our franchisees’ success is paramount to our own success, and we protect those
investments in our brands as if they were our own. We appreciate the confidence our franchisees
have placed in our brands, our support and our systems, and we work diligently every day to
continue to improve upon our past successes. We understand you have many options to invest your
hard-earned money, and we take our role as your financial stewards very seriously.

We appreciate you giving us the opportunity to tell you a little more about our Winmark family and
what
we offer our franchise partners. We hope that you will join us on your journey into business
ownership!
