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.

The Play It Again Sports® business model is stronger than ever! While the rest of sporting goods
retail has floundered in a highly competitive environment both on and offline, Play It Again Sports
has remained true to its major point of difference: our used products. We have remained a top
choice of families with growing kids in communities throughout North America. At Play It Again
Sports, we believe in what we do, and our franchisees understand the daily importance of staying
involved with the teams, leagues and associations in their communities. We take pride in offering
our customers the best in product knowledge, customer service and value in the industry.

Our mission is to continue to deliver high-quality used and new sporting goods equipment in a fun
and convenient environment, while doing good for our world as well. Our franchisees delight every
day in helping their customers find the sporting goods and fitness equipment they want, at prices
they can afford. Our stores help children and adults maintain an active, healthy lifestyle
through sports and fitness without emptying their wallets.

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!
