Unveils New Brand with Plans for Expanded Revenue Channels
Underway
CHARLOTTE, N.C.,
April 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- One Stop Sports, a multi-unit
sports cards retailer in the Southeastern U.S., announced
today its plans to rebrand to Replay Sports Cards.
"The new name speaks more to our vision for
the sports cards concept we've been building for the past three
years."
"Evolving to Replay Sports Cards is a natural, next chapter for
One Stop Sports," said Mike Martin,
co-founder of One Stop Sports. "You have the same team here, just a
new name that speaks more to our vision for the sports cards
concept we've been building for the past three years."
The first One Stop Sports location opened in 2021 in
Charlotte, N.C., followed by shops
in Mount Pleasant, S.C. and
Boca Raton, Fla. Martin and
co-founder Brent Schepel created One
Stop Sports to provide a unique and welcoming environment for
sports card collectors and investors of all ages. Each location
offers a bright, clean and open space for enthusiasts to come
together and buy, sell, trade and grade sports cards.
Beyond the brand's physical footprint and presence at all of the
top card shows across North
America, One Stop Sports launched live shows weekly via
Whatnot, @OneStopLLC, in February
2024 where the retailer sells single cards, slabs, packs and
sealed boxes in live auctions. In just over two months, the brand's
Whatnot store has grown to 3,200-plus items sold and a 5-star
rating that boasts more than 320 positive reviews.
The brand's three locations will be undergoing a light rebrand
in the month ahead to Replay Sports Cards, followed by a greater
brand transformation within the next 12 months. Further, the
company plans to expand its footprint beyond the Southeastern U.S.
in the next 12-18 months and is currently scouting untapped markets
as well as developing a franchise program.
"Nothing is changing for our loyal fans," added Schepel. "We
simply have a fresh, new look and some exciting new ways we're
bringing more value to our following."
With national expansion on the horizon, the team is focused on
building a robust training program for future Replay Sports Cards
shops across the nation to offer the same trusted experience as
current shops. Martin added, "We're not just about transactions;
we're focused on building up the sports cards community. At our
core, integrity guides our team's interactions. From providing
accurate insights and evaluations of cards to complete transparency
on their value, sports cards collectors and investors know they can
count on us."
To assist in the company's growth, Martin and Schepel have
teamed with Community Franchise Group to develop and launch the
Replay Sports Cards franchise program, as well as tap into new
revenue channels to enhance the overall card-collecting community.
They expect to launch the sports cards franchise opportunity this
Summer, offering sports card enthusiasts the blueprint to opening a
local card shop in their neighborhoods.
