IDAHO FALLS, Idaho, Feb. 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- uBreakiFix opens in Idaho Falls on Feb. 5 at Ammon Town Center. The fast-growing technology repair brand provides same-day repair service of all electronics, specializing in cell phone repair and computer repair at its more than 360 locations across North America.
This is the brand’s third location in Idaho, joining locations in Meridian and Twin Falls. uBreakiFix Idaho Falls is the first location for Cannon Gardner, LCC, owned by Kelly Cannon and Andrew Gardner, who plan to open a second store in Pocatello.
Cannon and Gardner met in Orlando at a uBreakiFix Discovery Day in August 2017. Both were impressed by the leadership, operations, growth, and opportunity afforded to franchisees by uBreakiFix. A few weeks later, they decided to partner to bring uBreakiFix to southern Idaho. Cannon and Gardner each own 50 percent of the LLC. Gardner serves as the Managing Member and Cannon serves as the General Manager.
“I have lived in Idaho Falls my entire life, as has my wife Sarah and son Bridger,” Cannon said. “As a young entrepreneur, I was drawn to the culture and the values of the young founders of uBreakiFix: hustle, common sense, a focus on customer service, and a love for fixing broken electronic devices. Andrew and I are excited to become the go-to tech repair resource for the Snake River Valley community.”
“I am over twice Kelly’s age, but we share a sentimentality for southern Idaho,” Gardner said. “I have worked in the telecom industry for decades. I served as CFO for the cellular telephone company that built the first cell site serving a rural community in the Continental U.S. In 2000, I retired from that company and operated a horse ranch serving troubled and disadvantaged youth in the Denver area until last Spring. I’m looking forward to this new business venture and know that uBreakiFix and Kelly are the perfect partners to bring tech repair to Idaho Falls.”
uBreakiFix was founded in 2009 by millennial duo David Reiff and Justin Wetherill, a 2017 Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree. The pair later partnered with Eddie Trujillo to transition their Internet-based brand to a brick and mortar tech repair alternative that was quick, affordable, and provided a quality customer experience. Since its inception, the company has grown organically without investors or consultants.
uBreakiFix services all brands of electronics, offering phone screen repair, computer repair, and more to consumers and businesses alike. To date, the company has completed more than 3.5 million repairs, including cracked screens, water damage, software issues, camera issues, and most other technical problems.
uBreakiFix has more than 360 locations open across the U.S. and Canada, with nearly 700 in development. uBreakiFix is known for its timely service, focus on providing an exceptional customer experience, and its ability to fix anything and everything with a power button. Each repair comes with a 90-day warranty and a price match guarantee.
“Our commitment to our customers is what drives our continual growth, innovation, and improvement,” said Wetherill, uBreakiFix CEO and founder. “We’re always looking for ways to better serve the communities we call home. We’re excited for the opportunity to bring reliable repair service and exceptional customer service to Idaho Falls and the surrounding areas.”
