Winmark Corporation (Nasdaq: WINA) announced today that Kirk A.

Mr. MacKenzie was elected to Winmark’s Board of Directors in 2000, served as its Vice Chairman from that time until 2011, and currently serves as a member of the Audit Committee.

“Kirk’s contributions to Winmark over the past 21 years have been significant and meaningful. Over the course of his Board tenure, Kirk has been a key contributor and has provided strategic advice to both the Board and management,” noted Brett D.

I will greatly miss his counsel and leadership.”

Additionally, the Company announced that it has named Percy C. (Tom) Tomlinson to its Board of Directors and Audit Committee.
