Replay Sports Cards Opens in Greenville, NC
In an exciting move for sports card enthusiasts, Replay Sports Cards, the first national franchise dedicated solely to the sports card hobby, is opening its third location in North Carolina. Positioned in Greenville, this new shop exemplifies Replay's mission to foster community engagement through buying, selling, trading, and grading sports cards.
Establishing a New Hub for Collectors
Scheduled for a grand opening on November 14, the new shop is situated conveniently at 518 Greenville Blvd., Suite F. Under the ownership of the dynamic father-son duo, Jim and Jake Whitehurst, the store aims to serve as a community gathering spot for local collectors.
Jake Whitehurst, inspired by a lifelong passion for sports and collecting—particularly after stumbling upon his father's old football cards—envisions the shop as more than just a retail space. "I want to create a place where people can trade, meet other collectors, and share their passion for sports," he shared. This concept is not only about transactions but also about fostering connections among collectors, prompting friendships and shared interests beyond the store.
A Legacy of Family and Sports
Jim Whitehurst's wealth of business knowledge, gained from years of collaboration with his father at Coastal AgroBusiness, offers a solid foundation for Jake’s ambitions. Jim’s extensive experience will support Jake as he manages the shop day-to-day, creating a nurturing environment reflective of their family's values in sports.
Greenville, known for its tight-knit sports community, is the ideal backdrop for Replay's latest venture. Jim remarked, "Sports have always been a big part of our family, and Greenville is a town that rallies around its teams. Being able to channel my experiences into Jake's passion for this venture means a lot to us."
Expansion of the Replay Brand
Replay Sports Cards, which originally started in North Carolina, has been making strides in expanding its reach across the country, and this new Greenville location is a testament to that growth. The franchise focuses on creating partnerships with local entrepreneurs who have a shared enthusiasm for sports collecting. Each Shop combines various services, including buying, selling, trading, and grading, along with online sales, livestream commerce, and vibrant community events.
Mike Martin, the co-founder of Replay Sports Cards, expressed his excitement about the new location, stating, "Jim and Jake bring a great combination of business experience, local connections, and genuine enthusiasm for the hobby. Greenville's sports community is passionate, and we look forward to seeing the Whitehursts develop a space that serves all fans and collectors."
