Local Entrepreneur Brings Smartphone Repair Franchise to Findlay

uBreakiFix Fixes Anything with a Power Button at New Findlay Village Mall Location


FINDLAY, Ohio, Dec. 27, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Industry-leading franchise uBreakiFix brings top-tier smartphone repair to Findlay Village Mall. The new store opened on Dec. 18 and is now fixing smartphones, tablets, computers, and other electronic devices at 1784 Tiffin Ave.

While common device repairs include smartphones, tablets, and computers, uBreakiFix offers repair service on anything with a power button, including drones, hoverboards, game consoles, and everything in between. To date, uBreakiFix has completed more than 7.2 million repairs at its more than 540 locations across North America. While common fixes include shattered screens, software issues, and camera issues, the brand offers support for most technical problems on any electronic device, regardless of make or model.

An authorized service provider for both Samsung and Google, uBreakiFix leads the industry in strategic partnerships, providing Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel customers with manufacturer-backed, same-day repair service using genuine parts. For the customer, this means enjoying all the convenience of walk-in repair without risking their smartphone’s warranty or compromising features like water resistance. uBreakiFix’s repair technicians are professionally trained using manufacturer-grade tools, tests, and processes to return devices to like-new condition.

uBreakiFix Findlay is the first location for Craig Parsons, and he plans to open three additional locations in Toledo, Ohio. No stranger to the world of franchising, Parsons also owns the Tropical Smoothie in Findlay and is excited to expand his franchise footprint into the technology space.

“We’re looking forward to exceeding customer expectations and fixing the unfixable at our new Findlay location,” Parsons said. “We’re conveniently located right off Tiffin Avenue, and our goal is to make quality tech repair more accessible. We’re honored to offer the exceptional device repair and customer experience uBreakiFix is known for to those living in and around Findlay.”

uBreakiFix was founded in 2009 by millennial entrepreneurs Justin Wetherill and David Reiff to fill a gap in the market for affordable, high-quality phone repair. The duo soon partnered with Eddie Trujillo to transition their Internet-based repair brand to a brick-and-mortar model. Together, they opened the first uBreakiFix storefront in Orlando, Florida, followed by 46 additional corporate locations over the next four years. uBreakiFix began franchising in 2013 and currently operates more than 540 locations across the U.S. and Canada.

In 2016, uBreakiFix announced its first authorized service partnership with Google; in 2017, Wetherill ranked among Forbes’s 30 Under 30 in Consumer Electronics; in 2018, uBreakiFix partnered with Samsung as an authorized service provider; and in 2019, the brand celebrated its 10th anniversary, 500th store opening and was acquired by global tech care company Asurion.

“At uBreakiFix, our story has been shaped by an unwavering commitment to continually improving the repair experience for customers,” Wetherill said. “We founded this company to fill a need for high-quality, convenient repair with great service at a fair price. We always say we’re a customer service company first, and a tech company second. As we begin serving Findlay and the surrounding communities, we look forward to sharing the care and credibility that define the uBreakiFix experience.”
