Play It Again Sports® Celebrates 20 Years in Greensboro with Deals and Giveaways
GREENSBORO, NC – Play It Again Sports®, a prominent family sporting goods resale concept, is celebrating 20 years of presence in Greensboro, situated at 2963 Battleground Ave.
The brand offers individuals involved in athletics across various age groups an avenue to trade their high-quality pre-owned sports and fitness equipment.
This encompasses a wide range of items such as football gear, baseball gloves and bats, hockey equipment, golf clubs, soccer gear, lacrosse equipment, treadmills, ellipticals, bicycles, workout benches, weights, and other related items.
The store in Greensboro has gained popularity among families due to its extensive experience of two decades in the procurement, sale, and exchange of high-quality pre-owned sports and fitness equipment.
it is a component of Winmark Corporation, which is a distinctive nationwide retail resale franchise that places emphasis on sustainability, the establishment of small businesses, and the provision of resale opportunities for all individuals.
In 1994, Michael Kemp, a resident of the local area, commenced his employment with Play It Again Sports as a part-time staff member in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Following a collaborative endeavor with accomplished proprietors Dean and Anne Mathias, they provided valuable assistance in establishing their own retail establishment in Greensboro during the autumn season of 2003.
Michael and his spouse, Shannon, hail from High Point, North Carolina, and Greensboro, North Carolina, respectively. Consequently, this relocation facilitated their return to exceedingly familiar territory. Since the inception of their first store, the Kemps have proceeded to establish or acquire supplementary Play It Again Sports stores in Winston Salem, NC, and Mooresville, NC, alongside Style Encore stores in Greensboro, NC, and Winston Salem, NC.
According to Kemp, Play It Again Sports has been his sole occupation since his commencement as a part-time staff member in 1994. I did not anticipate that pursuing a long-term career involving sports equipment and families would be feasible. However, the opportunity to engage in a sustainable and family-friendly business model has proven to be highly fulfilling.
Our organization has the capability to provide immediate compensation to individuals who have no further use for their equipment. This initiative offers our communities a convenient means of generating income while simultaneously preventing the disposal of these items in nearby landfills, thereby facilitating their redistribution to individuals who will utilize them. Furthermore, the exceptional value that these items offer to our clientele in their shopping experience is unparalleled.
From Friday, October 20, 2023, to Sunday, October 22, 2023, an invitation is extended by Michael Kemp to individuals to visit the store located in Greensboro, in order to partake in the following activities:
Receive a discount of 20% on the total amount of your purchase made in-store.
Every day, the initial 20 individuals in the queue are awarded a gift card worth $20 each.
Participate in a raffle for a chance to win one out of a selection of 20 distinct items. The items available for purchase are sourced from a variety of reputable vendors and have a maximum value of $250 each. The raffle drawings are scheduled to take place on Monday, October 23rd.
Winmark’s resale concepts facilitate the transfer of high-quality used sports and fitness equipment to individuals, rather than being discarded in landfills. This offers a valuable resource for shoppers seeking to upgrade their gear in an environmentally conscious manner.
In contrast to a conventional consignment store, it does not require customers to schedule an appointment in order to sell their sports and fitness equipment. Additionally, the store provides immediate compensation to consumers for the goods it acquires from them.
