OVERLAND PARK, Kan (PRWEB) May 08, 2018 -- Phone Medic - Kansas City’s largest and fastest-growing cell phone repair, technology repair and refurbished device service provider – announces the planned alignment of its business operations as a franchisee of uBreakiFix, the nation’s industry leader for walk-in electronics repair.
As franchises, Phone Medic’s stores will assume and operate under the uBreakiFix brand.
