Style Encore Franchise Model Overview

Style Encore stores buy quality used women's and men's clothing, shoes and accessories directly from customers and resell them at well below new-retail prices, supplemented by new accessories. The franchisor is Winmark, which also runs Plato's Closet, Once Upon A Child, Play It Again Sports and Music Go Round, so the buy-sell system and resale training are mature. A typical store is 3,000 to 4,000 square feet in a strip center or small freestanding building, and the mid-six-figure investment goes mostly to fixtures, build-out, opening inventory and working capital. Royalty is a percentage of gross sales with a modest flat marketing fee, but owners must spend at least 5 percent of sales on local marketing and co-op advertising. Individual owners must be the on-site operator unless the franchisor consents otherwise; multi-store owners may use managers. The system is entirely franchised and has hovered in the high 60s for three years. Item 19 reports average annual gross sales and gross profit.

Ideal owner profile

Hands-on owner-operator who will personally manage the store day to day
Retail or apparel background with an eye for brands, pricing and merchandising
Comfortable managing a part-time hourly team and a high-volume buy counter
Mid-six-figure capital for fixtures, build-out and opening inventory
Existing Winmark franchisees adding a concept at the reduced franchise fee
