Windmark is the only resale company at scale that's actually paying you for your clothes or sporting goods. "We just think we have the most convenient, sustainable option," says Windmark CEO Jim Boulden. The donation market is massive and there are more independent thrift stores in every town than there are other locations put together.
You might not have heard of Winmark, but you could be more familiar with its stores. The resale franchise company owns concepts including Plato’s Closet, Play It Again Sports, and Once Upon a Child.
Winmark CEO, Brett Heffes, caught up with Jim Gillies for a rare interview about:
- How a focused mission shapes Winmark’s business - Creating long-lasting relationships with franchisees - The resale company’s capital allocation strategy and growth expectations - What some investors misunderstand about Winmark
