Chris Phillips opened CPR Cell Phone Repair, an on-premise cell phone and electronics repair center, in Chesterfield earlier this year after leaving a career in banking. Phillips’ first CPR Cell Phone Repair store—located at 703 Long Road Crossing Drive— opened in May, and he plans to open two more stores in the St. Louis area over the next few years.
“I retired from banking because the industry was changing and I was ready to reinvent myself,” Phillips said. “With the growth of smartphones, tablets and other handheld personal electronic devices, the occurrence of consumers having accidents or operational problems is growing, too. As consumers we are becoming less of a ‘throw away’ society so CPR Cell Phone Repair is the perfect business opportunity. On the customer side, CPR Cell Phone Repair offers a helpful service in a timely manner and for a great value.”
Dedicated to the on-premise repair of cell phones, tablets, laptops, game systems, mp3 players, GPS units and other electronic gadgets, CPR Cell Phone Repair’s retail outlets offer “while-you-wait” service, specializing in the repair of water damage, charging ports, broken LCDs and much more – usually in less than an hour. CPR Cell Phone Repair also has an extensive buy, sell, trade program that helps keeps old electronics out of landfills by exchanging customer devices, and then fixing the old phones or reusing the parts in some other way. For devices that do not need service right away, the CPR Cell Phone Repair Shield protection plan offered by CPR Cell Phone Repair covers many types of damage, including full immersion, on any phone and most electronic devices—for less than a traditional warranty plan. CPR Cell Phone Repair currently has over 110 stores throughout the United States, Canada and South America, and the company is projecting 1,000 locations by the end of 2015.
