Annual List Highlights “20 Great Businesses to Start Now”

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. – Play N Trade Franchise, Inc., one of the fastest-growing franchises worldwide, has been named one of the “20 boom moneymakers to start now” by Small Business Opportunities Magazine. The list is comprised of the editors’ selection across all industries of the best money-making ideas for entrepreneurs, and appears in the January issue.

“Video games are the hottest sector in the retail industry, and being recognized on the Small Business Opportunities ‘top 20’ list highlights the fact that we are the best franchise opportunity available for entrepreneurs to participate in the video game market,” said Roger Lloyd, CEO of Play N Trade. “The individual store owner is the foundation of our business model, and we look forward to working together to achieve our goal of being the number one video game retailer in the world.

“What makes Play N Trade a great business opportunity is our world-class training and support programs. We offer franchisees site location assistance, classes on how to run a small business, expert insights into the video game industry, and comprehensive training in sales, marketing, and customer service. This corporate infrastructure is enhanced by the collaborative environment we share with our franchisees to ensure that we are always responsive to changing market demands and customer needs.”

Play N Trade stores deliver a unique customer experience that combines an extensive selection of new and used video games, consoles and accessories with interactivity. Play N Trade stores host local and national tournaments, provide disc and console repair services, and offer a “try any game before you buy” policy. Customers can also buy, sell or trade-in their used games, consoles, accessories and cell phones for store credit.

“It’s a customer experience, not a corporate experience at Play N Trade, and that’s why we’re making a difference in the marketplace,” Lloyd said. “Our stores provide an atmosphere that is appealing to everyone from the hard core gamer to the casual player, as well as parents looking for recommendations on what games to buy for their kids, and so consumers are making Play N Trade the destination of choice for all their video gaming needs.”
