Buy a CPR Cell Phone Repair Franchise

CPR Cell Phone Repair is a retail electronics repair franchise founded in 1996 and franchising since 2004. With 400+ locations across the US and Canada, stores offer same-day repair services for smartphones, tablets, laptops, computers, and gaming consoles via walk-in, drop-off, and mail-in. Locations also sell certified pre-owned devices and accessories.

In 2019, CPR was acquired by Assurant, a publicly traded device protection and connected-living services company. The acquisition brought the franchise network access to national account programs, preferred supplier pricing, and relationships with major wireless carriers and device manufacturers. CPR for Business and CPR for Education programs extend the model into commercial and institutional accounts.

CPR stores operate from retail storefronts within exclusive territories; the model does not permit absentee ownership. The brand holds Samsung Service Provider and Apple Independent Repair Provider status, enabling franchisees to use OEM parts and manufacturer-supported repair processes. CPR has earned Hall of Fame recognition in Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 through more than a decade of consecutive annual rankings.

CPR Cell Phone Repair – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    Initial training for incoming franchise owners covers 40 hours of classroom instruction and 48 hours of on-the-job work. Ongoing support includes a proprietary POS system and a franchisee intranet covering operational procedures and compliance guidance. Marketing support spans co-op advertising, SEO, social media management, and website development. The brand also coordinates preferred supplier pricing through purchasing co-ops. Resale buyers should confirm with CPR what transfer training and proprietary POS system access are available when ownership changes.

  2. Ideal Owner

    The CPR model suits a hands-on retail operator comfortable managing a small team of technicians and delivering customer service in a walk-in store environment. No prior electronics repair experience is required; CPR's training program and proprietary systems are designed for owners without a technical background. The model is operations-led, with the owner responsible for daily store management, staffing, local marketing, and building relationships with business and education accounts in the territory. Comfort with retail hours and community-facing work is important for building a loyal local customer base.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    CPR Cell Phone Repair has been inducted into the Entrepreneur Franchise 500 Hall of Fame, reflecting more than a decade of consecutive annual rankings on the list. The brand placed #447 in the 2025 Franchise 500 and #454 in 2024, and has ranked second in the Electronics Repairs and Sales category. In 2026, CPR also appeared on Entrepreneur's Top Franchises for Less Than $150,000 at #95. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition provides a useful credibility baseline, but local reputation, customer reviews, and community visibility matter more at the unit level.

  4. Industry / Market

    The US cell phone repair industry is valued at approximately $4.2 billion (IBISWorld, 2025), driven by rising device replacement costs and consumer preference for repair over disposal. The right-to-repair movement and growing sustainability awareness are broadening demand across income levels. Schools and businesses managing large device fleets create a recurring B2B opportunity alongside walk-in retail traffic. For resale buyers, local population density, foot traffic, and proximity to schools and commercial areas are practical indicators of a location's revenue potential.
