TORONTO – Canadian tablet/smartphone repair, service and sales chain Mobile Klinik, today announced the acquisition of Device Care, a smartphone accessories and repair chain with six locations in Ontario and Québec.
Financial terms were not disclosed and the company plans to keep and expand the Device Care brand along side the main brand.
Mobile Klinik is now a 52-store chain which offers no-appointment-needed, trusted professional smartphone and tablet repair for almost all makes and models of devices, typically completing repairs in less than 60 minutes. It’s a Samsung- and LG-authorized in-warranty while-you-wait repair retailer, too.
Device Care offers consumers a broad assortment of top-quality branded and private-label smartphone accessories, including cases, screen protection, power cables, headphones, speakers and gadgets, as well as smartphone and tablet repair services.
“Device Care has an exciting assortment of top-quality accessories, skilled staff, and high-performing locations that will both complement and enhance our business with mutual growth and learning opportunities,” said Tim McGuire, CEO, Mobile Klinik, in the press release. “Device Care and Mobile Klinik will offer a broader range of products and services than any other device repair and accessories retailer.”
The Device Care network will initially include six existing retail locations in Ontario and Québec: Toronto Eaton Centre; Sherway Gardens, Toronto; Upper Canada Mall, Newmarket; Cambridge Centre; Oshawa Gateway Centre; Place Montreal Trust.
“We are excited about the growth opportunities that joining the Mobile Klinik team will provide to our store managers and associates – being part of a large and growing national network will give all the Device Care team members room to learn, contribute and grow that we would not have been able to achieve on our own,” added Dawood Shahid, Device Care’s managing director, in the release.
