uBreakiFix Grows Illinois Footprint, Opens in Bradley

Industry-Leading Tech Repair Brand Brings High Quality Electronics Support to Bourbonnais


BRADLEY, Ill., Sept. 04, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tech repair brand uBreakiFix opened its newest location, uBreakiFix Bradley, on August 20 at 2070 N. State Route 50, Suite 200. This is the brand’s first location in Kankakee County, joining several locations throughout the greater Chicagoland area.

uBreakiFix services anything with a power button, including smartphones, game consoles, tablets, computers, drones, hoverboards, and everything in between. To date, uBreakiFix has completed more than 4.7 million repairs. While common fixes include cracked screens, software issues, and camera issues, the brand offers support for most technical problems on any electronic device, regardless of make or model.

Through strategic partnerships with leading technology companies, including Samsung and Google, uBreakiFix provides Samsung Galaxy customers and Google Pixel and Pixelbook customers with manufacturer-backed, same-day repair services using genuine parts. Through the partnership with Samsung, Galaxy owners can get in and out-of-warranty repairs at more than 300 locations nationwide, with most repairs completed in two hours or less.

uBreakiFix Bradley is the fourth location for Angelo and Alexandra Giannakopoulos, who also own stores in Portage, Schererville, and Michigan City. The pair plans to open four additional stores across Northwest Indiana and Southwest Chicagoland.

“We want to be the go-to resource for the Bradley, Bourbonnais, and Kankakee communities’ tech repair needs,” Angelo Giannakopoulos said. “We plan to provide the best, most reliable electronics repair service for businesses and consumers here and even hope to reach the South Chicago suburbs.”

uBreakiFix was founded in 2009 by millennial duo Justin Wetherill and David Reiff, who later partnered with Eddie Trujillo to transition their Internet-based brand to a brick and mortar model. By offering convenience, accessibility, and unparalleled customer service, uBreakiFix filled a gap in the repair marketplace and has since emerged as an industry leader in growth, service offerings, and authorized partnerships. In 2018, Wetherill was inducted into the Forbes Technology Council, and uBreakiFix earned a top spot on Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500® list, ranking #18 overall, #1 in the Electronics Repair category, and #1 on the Top New Franchises list.

uBreakiFix has more than 425 locations open across the U.S. and Canada.
