CD
WAREHOUSE FRANCHISE
Since
its introduction about two decades ago,
the CD…or "Compact Disc"…has
become the standard format for recorded
music. CD's represent today a multi-billion
dollar business…and keep in mind
that these buyers often tire of their
purchases after a while and look for
a way to dispose of them. At the same
time, other buyers are looking for familiar
old melodies they can no longer find
in retail stores. It's this regular
turnover in the CD market that has enabled
CD Warehouse to become
a growing and highly profitable operation!
Further, as DVD's replace videotapes,
the company is expanding their merchandising
into that profitable area as well.
The
company started in Texas in 1992, when
Mark Kane took a selection of no-longer-wanted
CD's to a local flea market and came home
a few thousand dollars richer at the end
of the weekend. That inspired him to start
a store, which he quickly expanded to
a chain of franchised locations supplied
from a central facility. Today, that chain
has expanded to one of over 200 stores
across three continents…and CD
Warehouse has garnered a number
of prestigious awards for franchisors
in the process. The firm also operates
locations under the Disc Go Round name,
after acquiring that company a few years
ago.
CD
Warehouse can give you the advantage
as their franchisee. They will set you
up with the tools you need to operate
the business…teach you how to run
it effectively…inform you of new
and creative sales techniques as they
develop…and then support you in
your day to day business. Further, they
will provide you with your initial stock
of used and new CD's and DVD's…and
supplant the stock you receive as trade-ins
with stock from their vast warehouse.
In
fact, they can assist with site selection,
lease negotiations, store design and layout
(including fixtures), provide you with
a manual to help you operate and modern
point-of-sale software and hardware to
help you operate efficiently. They'll
set you up with a starting inventory,
and will buy back what doesn't sell. More
importantly, as a CD Warehouse franchisee,
you'll have their franchise support staff
available whenever you need them!
They've
established CD Warehouse
as one of the recognized leaders in the
music resale industry…and that's
why this can be an important opportunity
for you!
