Play N Trade Founder’s story
After six years of honorable service in the United States Marine Corps, Ron turned down the opportunity to attend Officers Candidate School. He started at Milestonz Jewelers Inc where he quickly rose from top salesperson to general manager. Although he was successful in a corporate environment, his real dream was to become an entrepreneur. So Ron started a business that would allow him to spend more time with his son and create a common bond. Starting with one store in 2000, we are now 250 strong and counting.
Mission Statement
To establish Play N Trade as a unique, interactive and social environment that creates an opportunity for success with each and every franchise partner. We strive to develop strong industry alliances, build enduring community relationships and spawn raving fans.
How Do We Differentiate Ourselves from the Competition?
First and foremost our customer service focus is what differentiates us from the other guys. Ron envisioned a retail environment where it was possible to know his customers on a first name basis and to sell to them based upon their buying habits. With a personalized consultative selling process, in-store tournaments, fair pricing for used games and exceptional customer service, Ron's vision has become a reality.
Secondly, our stores don’t only look different, they are different! Our stores define "the ultimate gaming experience" and capture the excitement of this growing industry by attracting the avid gamer, casual gamer and the new gamer.
Next, our Try-Before-You-Buy policy creates a lively atmosphere in our stores, and we expand on that fun with private parties in the store, league play and in-store tournaments.
