uBreakiFix Portage is the first location for local owners Angelo and Alexandra Giannakopoulos, who plan to open six more uBreakiFix locations throughout Northwest Indiana and Southwest Chicagoland over the next year.
Angelo Giannakopoulos began his professional career working for an area big-box service repair center in college and then spent the next two decades in the wireless industry working for Sprint and Verizon. Angelo spent the last seven years in various VP-level positions with TCC, the largest Verizon dealer across the nation, before finally deciding to join uBreakiFix as a multi-unit franchisee.
“I decided to partner with uBreakiFix because of the brand’s relentless focus on the customer experience,” Angelo said. “I shopped around the competition and soon realized that uBreakiFix is unique in the industry due to its core values and incredible leadership team. Once I met the founders, I knew I had come to the right place and immediately started planning to join the team. I’m excited to grow uBreakiFix throughout Northwest Indiana and Southwest Chicagoland with skilled technicians, high quality repair service and best-in-class customer experience.”
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 debt, 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 350 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 Portage and the surrounding areas.”
