Our system offer’s each store owner the opportunity to build a local retail operation that leverages the advantage of the on-site repair store model for cell phones, I phones, tablets, and any hand-held electronic device with a screen as well as video game consoles and accessories.   Nearly all repair facilities for these products require the shipment of a broken item to a repair center or the manufacturer and the return shipment when repaired.  This takes the item out of service for several days.  On-site and generally same-day repair of personal electronics is an enormous competitive advantage over the shipping model.

You’re not a cell phone store; you will be in the business of repairing and selling electronics accessories and will be able to trade phones, tablets and other items as you wish.  You have the capability to prepare cell phones or tablets to work with any carrier your customer uses.  You can transfer contact information, pictures, etc from any device to any instrument.  This enables you to sell refurbished cell phones, tablets, etc. and take used phones in for resale.

As a licensee, you will have access to all our marks and name as well as our store design. 

We have extensive retailing experience and you will have the interaction with other licensees to maximize your operations.
