PROFILE |
 |
Grow Biz International loves recycling, but it's not collecting cans and paper. Grow Biz franchises retail chains that buy, sell, and consign used goods (and some new items) at about 900 stores throughout the US and Canada. The chains sell sports gear (Play It Again Sports, 70% of sales); children's clothing, toys, and furniture (Once Upon A Child); teen apparel (Plato's Closet); musical equipment (Music Go Round); and tools (ReTool). The company, which owns a dozen of its stores, has a handful of franchises in Austria, Germany, Japan, and Switzerland. Co-founders Jeffrey Dahlberg and Ron Olson own 23% and 24% of Grow Biz, respectively. CEO Morgan and his investment partners own 15%.
