Entrepreneur Magazine has ranked Plato's Closet #1 in its category

Plato's Closet offers a truly unique retail franchise opportunity, as it is the leading national teen retail store of it's kind -- focusing on the buying and selling of gently used, brand-name apparel and accessories for girls and guys! Plato's Closet has over 500 store locations throughout North America, and that number continues to grow.

Plato's Closet would be an excellent Generational opportunity for a family, husband and wife or adult child or grandchild to operate. The opportunity to become financially independent with a tremendous ability for growth as well as training and guidance provided by Winmark makes this an outstanding business concept.

Our stores fill a distinct niche in the retail marketplace. We are the leading national resale business that specializes in the teen and twenty-something market group. The wish list for trendy, brand-name apparel and the availability of it in virtually every teen's closet presents fantastic opportunities for both franchise owners and customers alike. As stated in the 2021 RESALE REPORT, "Secondhand Market is Projected to Double in the Next 5 Years, Reaching $77B" and "Thrifting Became a New Pandemic Habit That is Expected To Stick"

This unique business opportunity does not come around often. We have been fortunate to serve this community with such an incredible concept for many years, helping teens stretch their budgets and serving our environment at the same time through a sustainable eco-friendly business. We've been able to support our local community by keeping inventory dollars local, creating jobs, and providing affordable fashions that are so important to our young people. Now we are looking to move on to our next opportunity and are looking for a passionate owner to continue to serve our community with the #1 ranked teen resale brand, Plato's Closet. If you're looking for an opportunity to step into a business and hit the ground running, Plato's Closet in Vancouver, Washington is worth checking out!

This store is established and has been growing. We have a strong Instagram following and an extensive loyalty program that allows us to conduct very effective marketing of events and promotions. Plato's Closet Vancouver would truly make and outstanding family business.

Buyer must qualify with Franchisor, Winmark Corporation.

Facilities
Store is in an excellent, high traffic location directly across from the Vancouver Mall. Shopping center contains several nationally known businesses such as Starbucks, Olive Garden, TJ Maxx, Crumbl Cookies, Jamba Juice, Firehouse Subs, and more. There is ample parking with strong foot traffic and the store has been refreshed to franchisor's brand standard.
Competition
There are no local competitors in the teen/young adult marketspace in Vancouver. We offer teens and young adults the ability to purchase Mall brands at an average of 60 to 70% below Mall prices. We have also received an outpouring of support from the community and it's not uncommon to hear people say how much they love the store.
Growth & Expansion
There are many ways in which a new owner would be able to expand this store. Because of the demands placed on me by my other business, I've almost become an absentee owner. Although the store runs well and has two very strong assistant managers, additional owner oversite would be very beneficial. We currently do very little marketing, close the store at 8pm on Monday through Saturday, and open the store from 11am to 6pm on Sunday. An additional investment in marketing and expanded store hours would more than likely pay huge dividends.
Support & Training
* A 100% franchised system that serves franchisee success -- not corporate stores. * An extensive training program to prepare you for the business ownership. * Our willingness to work with first-time franchisees and family teams. * Ongoing operations and marketing support from the dedicated franchise team. * Rock-solid relationships with our third-party vendors.
Reason for Selling
Time constraints due to another business and personal family issues.

This business is an established franchise
