uBreakiFix Expands Virginia Footprint With Northeastern Location
Industry-Leading Tech Repair Brand Brings High Quality Electronics Support to Stafford
Tech repair brand uBreakiFix opens its newest location, uBreakiFix Stafford, on April 26 at 364 Garrisonville Road. The new store joins several locations across the Greater D.C. area, including stores in Alexandria, Falls Church, Springfield, and more.
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 5 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 350 locations nationwide, with most repairs completed in two hours or less.
uBreakiFix Stafford is the first location for owners TJ Summerlin IV and NiTorya Summerlin, who are both recently retired from the U.S. Marine Corps and decided to make Stafford their permanent home.
“My interest in tech repair started with successfully repairing my own phone and then grew as my family and friends began giving me their devices to repair,” said TJ Summerlin IV. “When my wife and I were looking for our next venture in life, I happened to visit a uBreakiFix shop for repair advice and ended up walking away with a franchise brochure. The rest is history.”
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 nearly 500 locations open across the U.S. and Canada. The brand opened nearly 130 new stores in 2018 and plans to increase growth in 2019. For more information on uBreakiFix franchising, visit http://ubreakifix.com/franchising.
