I am glad to report that this article nomination for good article status has been promoted. This is how the article, as of December 22, 2016, compares against the six good article criteria:
Encyclopedic tone. Educational article about a large publicly traded company. Not promotional in nature which is good. Nicely done ! If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to have it Good article reassessed. Thank you to all of the editors who worked hard to bring it to this status, and congratulations.— Sagecandor ( talk) 04:22, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm a PR contracted by the Winmark Corporation. The team flagged a number of inaccuracies and out-of-date information in their article. I was advised to submit an edit request instead of changing the page directly. Citable material for the below is provided in the corresponding section.
CHANGE: "In 2000, John Morgan replaced Dahlberg as CEO and renamed the company to Winmark in 2001. Morgan rescued Winmark from the verge of bankruptcy by selling financially failing franchise concepts and stores and replacing the management team." REASON: This is explicitly promotional of a given individual, and not cited.
CHANGE: Its subsidiary Wirth Business Credit is a small-business supplies leasing company. REASON: Wirth Business Credit is no longer a Winmark subsidiary.
CHANGE: In 2016, Winmark had a $1 billion market share in the $17 billion resell industry through its 1,170 franchisees. REASON: Out of date info: store count has now reached 1,291
CHANGE: CEO Brett Heffes is now also Chairman of Board of Directors
Statistics are no longer accurate and several years out of date.
For current count of stores, sales, other topline figures: [1]
For Heffes Board Appointment:
