Posted on: 31/07/2006

Fuelled by a consistently expanding demographic reach, a devoted customer base and a winning retailing concept, the Play N Trade franchise has experienced unprecedented growth in recent months.

“We couldn’t be more excited.” Yuvi Shmul, Play N Trade CEO states. “I think this opportunity is one that people don’t see at first glance. But once they start talking to their friends and seeing how many people actually spend a lot of money on this type of entertainment, people start to realize how much money there is to make. “

Yuvi, who has a background in investment banking goes on to say “healthy profit margins, the ease of finding employees and the fact that, after several months, you can run this business owner absentee, make Play N Trade a phenomenal opportunity.” Again “We fully expect to have over 120 opportunities sold by this time next year. That will be almost 1000% growth in one year!”
