The Wellington uBreakiFix store moved to Royal Palm Beach on Oct. 4, and is now located at 300 S. State Road 7.
The growing technology repair company specializes in same-day repair service of small electronics — repairing cracked screens, water damage, software issues, camera issues and most other technical problems — at its more than 240 stores across North America.
uBreakiFix Royal Palm Beach is owned by Daniel and Vincent Sotomayor. This is the first location for Vincent Sotomayor, who hopes to open more stores in the area. Daniel Sotomayor owns several stores locally, including uBreakiFix Jensen Beach, which opened in early May, and one in Stuart.
Vincent, a veteran with an engineering background, saw an opportunity to get involved with uBreakiFix after Daniel opened several stores in Florida and Wisconsin. He has high hopes for business after the move.
“We’re relocating to better serve the community,” Vincent said. “We will be surrounded by major cell phone carriers in the area, and hope to offer a world-class service experience for not only smart phone repairs, but for tablets, computers and game consoles as well.”
The increasing cost of devices has made technology replacement difficult and expensive, which motivated savvy millennial duo Justin Wetherill and David Reiff to provide another option, starting uBreakiFix in 2009.
The pair later partnered with Eddie Trujillo to offer a brick-and-mortar tech repair option that was quick, affordable and, most importantly, provided a quality customer experience.
“We want to build trust with our customers by taking the traumatic experience of damaged devices and making the repair process simple,” Wetherill said. “As we expand into Royal Palm Beach, we want the community to know that there are options beyond replacement, and uBreakiFix is here to provide them with a trusted alternative.”
The store offers repair services for all brands of smart phones, tablets, computers and game consoles. The brand’s ability to fix anything with a power button sets it apart from the competition. Each repair comes with a 90-day warranty.
The chain opened 51 stores during the first and second quarters of 2016 and expects to have 275 stores across North America by the end of the year.
