Trusted for 25 years in sustainable resale

At Used Products, we have over 70 shops across eight European countries. What makes us special is our focus on buying, selling, and pawning a wide range of sustainable products, both new and second-hand. We offer instant (cash) money to customers for their items, and then, with every purchase, we provide a warranty.

 

What sets us apart is our combination of physical shops and a strong online presence. This allows us to serve customers efficiently and with expertise. With more than 25 years of experience supporting franchisees, our franchise formula is sustainable, proven, and ready for the future.

 

Our goal is to create shops that go beyond the typical second-hand store. We want our shops to look and feel like brand-new retail outlets, providing a comfortable environment where customers feel welcome. This focus on quality and customer experience is what truly sets us apart.

Instant cash in 70+ shops in Europe!

Low costs, high opportunities

At Used Products we believe in a practical approach to franchising. Our stores share the same core values and way of working, but we also leave room for the personality and creativity of each entrepreneur.

 

We look at what is already available and make smart choices. If a location has a good wooden floor, we don’t replace it just because it’s not the exact style we usually prefer. That immediately saves thousands of euros. The same applies to display cabinets or other fittings. If you can find them second-hand in perfect condition, we encourage it.

 

This mindset is not about cutting corners but about investing wisely. Lower start-up costs mean you can reach break-even faster and build a healthy business more quickly. For us, flexibility and profitability go hand in hand, and that is what makes our franchise model strong.
