Play N Trade Doubles Number of Open Stores in Less Than Six Months
Fifty Stores Across the U.S., Including Texas, Idaho, Arizona, Michigan, New Mexico, as well as Expansion into Canada
NEWPORT
BEACH, Calif., June 5, 2007 - Play N Trade Franchise, Inc., one of the
fastest-growing franchises worldwide, today announced that it has
doubled the number of open video game stores to 50 in less than six
months. Play N Trade now has stores located across the U.S., Guam and
Puerto Rico, and has expanded into Canada. To date, the company has
sold the rights to open more than 250 stores, and is continuing to sell
rights to open stores on a daily basis.
“We are now opening a
new store every other day, and are on target to have 200 stores open by
the end of the year,” said Yuvi Shmul, CEO of Play N Trade. “Our rate
of expansion is equal to or exceeds that of much larger franchise
operations. This impressive growth is in direct response to the
compelling opportunity we offer entrepreneurs to participate in the
$12.5 billion video game market, and the outstanding execution of our
go-to-market strategy.”
Named one of the “Top 50 New Franchises”
for 2007 by Entrepreneur magazine, Play N Trade delivers a unique
customer experience that mixes retail with in-store tournaments and
contests, a “try before you buy any game” policy, disc and console
repair services, and an extensive selection of new and used games and
consoles, ranging from retro to most current, making Play N Trade
stores the destination of choice for gamers.
“Many people think
that business success can only be achieved in large cities or urban
areas, but Play N Trade stores are proving that success is possible
anywhere,” Shmul said. “From Chubbuck, Idaho to El Paso, Texas and from
Tucson, Arizona to Comstock Park, Michigan, Play N Trade stores are
fun, profitable places to work and are valued members of their local
communities.”
The Play N Trade business model does not include
any corporate stores, but is built solely on the success of its
franchisees. Corporate support for franchisees includes extensive
sales, marketing and business management training, site location
assistance, in-store digital advertising, a locally-branded Web site
and the proprietary Play N Trade POS (Point of Sale) system.
