Buy a Techy Franchise

Techy is an electronics repair and smart-home services franchise founded in 2006 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where two cousins opened a phone-accessories store that grew into a full device-repair business. The brand remains family-owned, with co-founder Bill Daragan as CEO, and began franchising in 2016.

Techy stores repair smartphones, tablets, laptops, computers and game consoles, sell accessories, and install smart-home devices, with added revenue from buyback and trade-in programs, B2B IT services and a recurring TechySave membership plan. The model comes in several formats, from compact kiosks and standard storefronts to larger device and cafe-style stores, plus a wrapped-van add-on for mobile repairs and on-site installs.

The network now spans more than 200 locations across the United States and nine other countries, supported from a 25,000-square-foot Fort Lauderdale headquarters that houses an in-house distribution warehouse. Territories run on a turnkey, no-experience-needed model that is also eligible for E2 visa applicants pursuing US ownership.

Why buy a Techy Franchise?

Buying a Techy franchise gives an owner an established place in a recession-resistant technology-services category, with several revenue streams under one roof: device repair, accessories, smart-home installation, B2B IT work and recurring TechySave memberships. That mix is built to reduce reliance on any single service as consumer electronics and connected-home devices keep multiplying.

Owners tap a global supply chain through Techy’s in-house distribution warehouse and a vendor network of hundreds of suppliers, plus national warranty coverage, discounted parts and partnerships with large retailers that help drive store traffic. Flexible store formats and a mobile van option let an owner match the model to a specific market, and the brand’s E2 visa eligibility widens the buyer pool for any resale.

Techy – Additional  Information

  1. Training & Support

    New owners train through Techy University, with 72 hours of classroom instruction and 40 hours of on-the-job training, set as two weeks at the Fort Lauderdale headquarters plus a week on-site, with ongoing unlimited training after launch. Operating support includes a RepairDesk POS, a custom-built PBX phone system with cloud access, a Techy AI call centre and follow-up tools, national SEO, an in-house marketing team, micro-soldering help, and supply through a vendor network and distribution warehouse. Resale buyers should confirm what Techy University onboarding and system access transfer to incoming owners and existing staff.

  2. Ideal Owner

    Techy suits hands-on retail operators rather than technical specialists; no electronics experience is required, as the franchisor trains owners A-to-Z. The strongest fit is someone sales- and customer-service-oriented, comfortable managing a small team of technicians, coordinating inventory and walk-in traffic, and building local awareness through marketing. The format also appeals to multi-unit and international developers, including E2 visa investors, who want a scalable, systems-driven business across several territories.

  3. Recognition & Awards

    Techy Company was named to Entrepreneur's 2026 Franchise 500, a ranking that weighs unit growth, support systems and brand strength across more than 150 data points. Beyond that listing, the brand's credibility rests on family ownership since 2006, expansion to more than 200 locations across the US and nine countries, and a service model built on national warranty coverage and customer retention. For resale buyers, brand-level recognition should be weighed alongside the specific territory's local reviews, repeat customers and community visibility.

  4. Industry / Market

    Device repair is a steady, essential-feeling category: the US smartphone repair market was valued at about $5 billion in 2024, and demand is broadening as households fill with smart-home and connected devices owners want fixed rather than replaced. "Right to repair" momentum and the rising cost of new electronics reinforce that shift, while accessories, B2B IT and smart-home installs add less seasonal revenue. For resale buyers, local device density, foot traffic and competition from carriers and big-box repair desks shape a given territory's demand.
