Item 4.   Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

     On June 20, 2002, the Board of Directors of Winmark Corporation (the
"Company"), with unanimous recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board of
Directors dismissed Arthur Andersen, LLP ("Andersen") as the Company's
independent public accountant, effective immediately.

     Andersen's report on the financial statements of the Company for the past
two years did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion nor were
they qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. In
connection with the Company's audits of the two most recent fiscal years and any
subsequent interim period preceding June 20, 2002, there were no disagreements
with Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to
Andersen's satisfaction, would have caused Andersen to make reference to the
subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report, and there were
no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

     Also on June 20, 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company, with
unanimous recommendation of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors,
appointed KPMG LLP to serve as the Company's independent auditors for fiscal
year 2002, effective immediately. During the two most recent fiscal years, the
Company has not consulted KPMG LLP with respect to the application of accounting
principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type
of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's consolidated financial
statements, or any other matters or reportable events as set forth in Items
304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.

Item 7.   Financial Statements and Exhibits

          (a)  Financial statements of businesses acquired:

               Not Applicable.

          (b)  Pro forma financial information:

               Not Applicable.

          (c)  Exhibits:

Dear Sir/Madam:

     The representations made in this letter are based solely on discussions
with and representations from the engagement partner and manager on the audits
of the financial statements of this registrant for the two most recent fiscal
years. Those individuals are no longer with Arthur Andersen LLP.

     We have read the first two paragraphs of Item 4 included in the Form 8-K
dated June 20, 2002 of Winmark Corporation filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission and have found no basis for disagreement with the statements
contained therein.

                                       Yours very truly,

                                       Arthur Andersen LLP
