Music Go Round is a mature musical instrument resale franchise system owned by Winmark Corporation. The system has experienced slight contraction with 34 current units down from 37 three years ago. The franchise offers exclusive territory protection typically 3-5 miles radius and requires significant investment ($337K-$431K) with high inventory requirements ($120K-$130K). Financial performance varies widely with average gross sales of $1.4M but median of $1.1M, suggesting some high performers skew the average. The franchise requires owner-operator involvement with 4% ongoing royalty and 5% minimum local advertising. Territory protection is strong but the system allows shared online sales rights and requires ecommerce participation.
