With the most corporate stores in the industry, uBreakiFix has rapidly become the foremost smartphone and computer repair company in the United States. Before launching our franchise program, we opened over 45 corporate locations. Throughout the development of these locations, we created numerous proprietary systems and processes which are utilized by our franchisees today, and have proven integral to our brand's continued success.
Having consistently demonstrated success while opening corporate stores throughout the years, our first-class opening assistance team will be present during the entire opening process. They will tend to everything, including choosing the best location in the area, opening the new location as swiftly as possible, and marketing appropriately in your area.
With the largest distribution center in the country (as well as an office in Chine), we are able to secure the highest quality parts at some of the lowest prices in the industry. Having our distribution center stateside gives us a competitive advantage when offering these usually time-sensitive repairs. We also have accounts with major wholesalers, who have given us special rates exclusively due to our buying power. uBreakiFix franchisees will have a direct connection with these vendors and will be eligible for pre-negotiated discounted rates. While some competitors use these relationships to earn commission, our commitment to industry leading margins means we pass any savings directly to the franchisee.
We have dedicated years designing our proprietary systems and software, and have numerous systems in place to assure that customers receive the same level of service at any uBreakiFix location. Our goal is to allow franchisees' stores to operate as smoothly as our own.

If I cannot personally meet all of the requirements, may I partner with other people?
Absolutely. We welcome individuals partnering with other interested parties to become uBreakiFix franchisees.
What does uBreakiFix look for in a location or site?
Our ideal site would be on the corner of an intersection with an average traffic count of over 15,000 - 40,000 cars per day. Clear visibility from all points of the intersection is recommended, but locating adjacent or near strong anchor tenants is top priority. Our average store size is approximately 1,000 square feet. Although this selection is ideal, any location with street visibility is preferred. This area should also have at least an average annual household income of $55,000 or greater, and a population of 100,000 within a 3-mile radius. Keep in mind this is not absolute criteria, as specific sites are evaluated on their individual features and demographics.

We do not provide financing for franchised stores. If you are going to require financing, you will need to secure financing and provide a letter of commitment to finance along with your final application package.
What is the average profit of a uBreakiFix store?
Every location is different and we do not provide financial performance information for our franchise locations. However, we do provide full financial statements, a 60 month revenue ramp up, derivation tables and averages for 18 of our company stores in the Item 19 of our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD). Once you have begun the franchise application process and acknowledge your receipt of the FDD, we will encourage you to review the FDD information and talk to our existing franchisees regarding such matters.
I am interested in owning the development rights for an entire area, so that I am the only one who can build uBreakiFix stores in that area. Is this possible?
