A favorite among families, the new Play It Again Sports® in Mount Laurel Township officially opens on May 1 to buy, sell and trade quality used sports and fitness equipment. Play It Again Sports is part of Winmark – the Resale Company®, a unique national retail resale franchise that focuses on sustainability, small business formation and providing Resale for Everyone®. 

Meet the Local Owner

The new Play It Again Sports is owned by South Jersey local Mark Torres. Torres is a lifelong metro-Philadelphiaian, who spent his career in IT and Marketing before transitioning to entrepreneurship following his wife’s success with Play It Again Sport’s sister store, Plato’s Closet. Torres opened his first Play It Again Sports location in 2015 in Deptford, and, after a decade of success, decided it was time to bring another location to the area. After hearing about the void left behind in the sports equipment resale market, Torres decided it was time to bring the business back to Mount Laurel after nine years.

“We couldn’t be more excited to bring Play It Again Sports back to the Mt. Laurel community,” said Torres. “This brand has always been a trusted resource for athletes and families, and we’re thrilled to once again provide quality new and gently used sports gear at affordable prices. Whether you’re gearing up for a new season or looking to trade in equipment for something fresh, we’re here to support your active lifestyle.”
