uBreakiFix Grows Kentucky Footprint, Opens in Florence

FLORENCE, Ky., May 08, 2018 -- Tech repair brand uBreakiFix opens its newest location, uBreakiFix Florence, on May 8 at 6805 Houston Road. This is the brand’s third location in Kentucky, joining stores in Jeffersontown and St. Matthews.

uBreakiFix specializes in same-day repair service of small electronics, repairing cracked screens, software issues, camera issues and other technical problems at more than 385 stores across North America.

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 Florence is the first location for local owners Chris and Victoria Conlin, who plan on opening another location in the Newport / Highland Heights area later this year. The Conlins will host a ribbon cutting ceremony at uBreakiFix Florence on May 8, featuring a ribbon cutting ceremony with the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce at 11:30 a.m.

“When Victoria and I started looking into franchise options, we found that uBreakiFix was the perfect match based on our interests and skill sets,” said Chris Conlin. “uBreakiFix was built on providing a quality experience, start to finish. We look forward to showing the Florence community that tech repair is a viable alternative to replacement, while also helping to cut down on the hundreds of thousands of phones that are thrown away in the U.S. each day. Technology is so important in today’s world, and we’re excited to become the go-to resource for all of the community’s tech repair needs.”

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.
