FixAPhone opens near Dayton Mall: Dayton Business

An electronics retailer will open its second Dayton area location near the Dayton Mall.

FixAPhone, a wireless repair center that focuses on same-day device repair services, will open a new 1,800-square-foot location in the Southland 75 Shopping Centre across from the Dayton Mall. The store will also have a conference room to host educational sessions on a series of topics. It will also have a one-on-one meeting space for customers.

Southland 75 formerly housed the Cub Foods store before it closed down in 2012.

The store will also buy old devices and sell quality pre-owned phones and tablets for customers looking to upgrade. The store currently has three staff members and eventually plan to hire more experienced wireless repair technicians and sales force as the business grows, according to a company statement.

This is the fifth FixAPhone location in Ohio and the second in the Dayton region.

“Our primary goal is to repair your cell phone, tablet or Apple watch the same day you bring it in and quite often, depending upon the repair, while you wait,” said owner Charlie Holdren.

The store will host a ribbon cutting on Sept. 22. The store is located at 8267 Springboro Pike.
