About Bricks and Minifigs

***They are only seeking to place resales, not new development ***
Bricks & Minifigs is the world’s largest LEGO® resale franchise. We buy, sell, and trade LEGO sets,
bulk bricks, and minifigures—high-margin products in a fast-growing niche with year-round demand.
Our model is simple and profitable:
Three profit centers: bulk bricks, certified sets, and minifigures.
High margins: typically 65–75% because inventory comes from customers, not expensive wholesale
orders.
Strong foot traffic: collectors, parents, gift-givers, and AFOLs keep stores busy every day of the year.
Low complexity: small teams, manageable hours, and a repeatable playbook.
Franchisees love BAM because the business is fun, community-focused, and scalable. Stores host
parties, events, and workshops, creating recurring revenue and nonstop engagement.

WHY Bricks and Minifigs?

High-margin resale model with inventory sourced from customers. The power of Lego. A retail concept that works.
Family-friendly, high-traffic concept with multiple revenue streams.
Simple, scalable operations backed by strong support.
