Investor Relations

Winmark Corporation (NASDAQ: WINA) operates businesses in the following three sectors: retail franchising, equipment-leasing franchising and middle-market leasing.

Retail Franchising:

Winmark is a franchisor of four value-oriented retail store concepts: Once Upon A Child®, Plato's Closet®, Play It Again Sports® and Music Go Round®. Each store buys, sells, trades and/or consigns gently-used and new merchandise. All brands emphasize consumer value by offering high-quality merchandise at substantial savings and by purchasing customers' goods that have been outgrown or are no longer used.

Equipment-leasing Franchising:

Through Wirth Business Credit franchises, Winmark leases equipment to small businesses. Franchisees offer small ticket equipment leasing in their local markets, with typical lease programs valued at under $250,000.

Middle Market Leasing:

Winmark also operates a middle-market equipment leasing business through its subsidiary, Winmak Capital Corporation. Winmark Capital is a technology equipment lessor to medium-sized and larger companies nationwide, with typical lease programs ranging in value from $250,000 to $5 million.
