Frequently Asked Questions
Is Play It Again Sports growing or shrinking?
Play It Again Sports's SBA loan count fell 15% year-over-year. A decline in SBA financing doesn't necessarily mean the brand is shrinking -- franchisees may be using other financing, or SBA lending patterns may have shifted broadly.
How much does it cost to open a Play It Again Sports franchise?
We don't have that figure -- investment ranges and fees come from a franchisor's Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), which this site doesn't parse (see methodology). The average SBA loan size of $353K (15% below the typical Retail brand's $415K) is a rough proxy, but SBA loans often cover only part of total investment.
