HIGHLAND, Ind., April 17, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tech repair brand uBreakiFix opens its newest location, uBreakiFix Schererville, on April 16 at 2305 Main St. This is the brand’s second location in northwest Indiana, joining a store in Portage and several neighboring stores across Chicago.
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 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 Schererville is the second location for owner Angelo and Alexandra Giannakopoulos, who opened uBreakiFix Portage in January. The couple plan to open five more stores in the next year across northwest Indiana and southwest Chicago.
“We noticed a definite need for reliable tech repair in this community and are excited to fill the gap,” Giannakopoulos said. “We have grown a loyal customer base in Portage and look forward to becoming the go-to tech repair resource for businesses and consumers throughout Schererville, Highland and the surrounding communities.”
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 and #1 in the Electronics Repair category.
uBreakiFix has more than 375 locations open across the U.S. and Canada, with 700 additional stores in development. The brand opened 21 new stores during the first quarter of 2018 and plans to increase growth each quarter throughout the year.
