IFAR Services - Keeping the World Conn ected

When anyone asks, “Where can I go to fix my iPhone, tablet or broken screen?” the answer is iFixandRepair! We offer services perfectly suited for today’s connected world. As wireless and mobile usage increases, devices become more and more important to all of us.

FAQs

Can I really keep my job and start an IFAR franchise? Yes. Once you become qualified by our Franchise Development team you’ll be encouraged to start talking with our operators – most of whom kept their professional job while opening up their first store.

Does IFAR provide training? We know how important training is to the success of our franchisees, and we take it very seriously. Our dedicated trainers will be sure that you and your employees are familiar with the proven and effective operating concepts before you open your first store. You and your operating partner will train in one of our training stores prior to the opening. In addition, one of our experienced Franchise Operations Consultants will be assigned to assist you before you open and provide site visits, training and operational assistance.

What kind of site works best? An IFAR store can succeed in a variety of locations, such as enclosed malls, strip centers and non-traditional locations. Square footage can range from 750-1500 square feet. A prime site is one that is situated in a heavily traveled area that allows for easy access. We require a first floor or street- level location and convenient customer parking in a suburban or urban setting. IFAR also offers non-traditional prototypes that can be implemented at smaller sites such as within airports, close to universities or other locations that may represent our target site characteristics.
