Winmark Corporation (Nasdaq: WINA) announced today net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 of $5,719,000 (or $1.33 per share diluted) compared to net income of $6,094,200 (or $1.41 per share diluted) in the third quarter of 2016.

The Company experienced royalty growth driven primarily by increased sales from franchisees, while profits in the leasing business were lower when compared to last year due to a decrease in customer activity within the lease portfolio. Brett D. Heffes, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased with the performance of the franchising business during the quarter, and the response to Winmark Franchise Partners, which we have continued to invest in during the quarter, has been extremely positive.”

At September 30, 2017, there were 1,210 franchises in operation under the brands Plato's Closet®, Once Upon A Child®, Play It Again Sports®, Style Encore® and Music Go Round®.
