Winmark to charge USD 295 monthly software fee per store starting Sept. 1, 2026

Winmark said it will begin charging a monthly software fee of 295 plus applicable taxes per store location starting September 1, 2026.
Proceeds from the software fee are expected to total about 0.4 million per month in aggregate and will be used for support, management, and modernization of its point-of-sale system.
Plato's Closet franchisees will be required to contribute 2% of sales to a new North American advertising fund starting July 1, 2026.
The required marketing spend for Plato's Closet franchisees will rise to 6% from 5%, an increase of 1 percentage point.
Winmark said the ad fund would have been about 13.5 million if it had been in place for fiscal 2025.
