Founded in 2013, Style Encore leverages Winmark’s decades‑long experience in “ultra‑high‑value” resale, giving franchisees a proven, scalable model in a rapidly growing secondhand fashion sector. Stores buy, sell, and trade brand‑name clothing, creating a recurring revenue stream and strong customer loyalty, with some units now achieving top‑quartile annual sales over $1.4 million.

Style Encore – Additional  Information

  1. Franchisee Support

    Style Encore provides both classroom and in‑store training, plus ongoing operational and small‑business consulting through Winmark’s field‑operations team. Franchisees receive support in merchandise buying, pricing, and store operations, along with access to Winmark’s proprietary systems and best‑practice benchmarks. The brand also offers marketing guidance, grand‑opening assistance, and ongoing advice on financial planning and local‑market positioning.

  2. Accolades & Awards

    Winmark and its resale brands, including Style Encore, have received multiple national recognitions and frequent coverage in franchise and retail media. Winmark franchises have been named to the Entrepreneur Franchise 500 list, highlighting the parent company’s strong systems and consistent growth. Style Encore benefits from this reputation, appearing in franchise directories and industry roundups as a top‑performing resale clothing concept.

  3. Industry / Market

    The global secondhand market is projected to reach roughly $351 billion by 2027, with U.S. fashion resale alone expected to hit about $24 billion in 2026. Secondhand fashion is growing 2–3 times faster than traditional retail, driven by value‑seeking consumers and sustainability trends. Style Encore aligns with this momentum by offering affordable, stylish, and eco‑conscious apparel, which helps franchisees capture discretionary spend even in softer economic climates.

  4. Ideal Owner

    The ideal Style Encore franchisee enjoys fashion, retail, and community engagement, with a hands‑on personality who likes interacting with customers daily. They should be comfortable managing inventory, hiring staff, and executing marketing campaigns, but need not have prior resale experience thanks to Winmark’s training. Locally based owners who value stability, repeat customers, and a socially conscious product (reducing textile waste) tend to thrive in this concept.
