Winmark Corporation announced that it has extended its partnership with the LA Kings and Kings Care Foundation. Brokered by AEG Global Partnerships, the renewal agreement continues Winmark's designation as the Official Resale Partner of the LA Kings and, in turn, the LA Kings as a Premier Sustainability Partner of Winmark and Play It Again Sports. Since the inking of the original partnership, Winmark, the LA Kings and the Kings Care Foundation, the award-winning charity of the team, have led community-based donation and resale initiatives focused on sustainability and the support of youth sports in underserved communities across the greater Los Angeles region.

This includes the development and promotion of an equipment drive in partnership with five community rinks across Southern California, where each rink serves as a strategic drop-off location for quality used hockey and sports equipment donations from the community. Proceeds from donated equipment, which were sold across Winmark's participating Play It Again Sports locations, went towards Kings Care We Are All Kings and Hockey Is for Everyone – youth hockey development programs designed to support underserved Southern California communities. The continuing relationship further supports the Kings Care Foundation and the LA Kings Hockey Club's goals of supporting and investing in families in the Los Angeles community and enhances Winmark's visibility across the LA Kings network, deepening its ties to vibrant sports fans across Southern California, a strategically important market for the company and its leading franchise brands which include Play It Again Sports®, Plato's Closet®, Once Upon A Child®, Style Encore®, and Music Go Round®.
