The vendor opportunity at UBreakIFix by Asurion

UBreakIFix by Asurion operates 677 stores, 549 of them franchised, under parent Asurion; the system previously operated under the name Asurion Tech Repair & Solutions. The franchisee base includes 234 mapped operators, 76 of them multi-unit, across roughly 554 located stores, concentrated in California, Florida, Texas, Georgia, and New York. Item 19 reports a $612,328 average for franchisee-operated stores open at least a year as of December 31, 2025, with no extended closures. Franchised outlets fell 0.4% year over year, a roughly flat trend for the system.

Who controls software purchasing

Software and POS purchasing run through UBreakIFix's headquarters, where Lisa Culp holds the President role, under parent Asurion. Item 11 requires every store to purchase the required computer, payment-processing, and point-of-sale hardware and software — the "Information Systems" — from an approved supplier that may be a company affiliate, and to obtain payment processing from that same approved supplier, which the company can change at any time.

Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required

Stores must buy the computer, receipt printer, cash drawer, barcode scanner, and monitor for their POS system from an approved supplier, and the POS software itself — which tracks inventory, sales, customers, sales tax, repairs in progress, and employee hours — must come from suppliers the company designates. Stores must also bring their point-of-sale system online with the company's Information Systems and keep that connection live. The FDD names Yahoo in Item 2, without designating it as required technology.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

Item 8 splits purchases between Designated Products and Services, bought from Asurion, its affiliates, or designated suppliers, and Ancillary Products and Services, bought from approved suppliers with a process to request alternatives. Apparel and uniform inventory currently must come from the company or its designated suppliers, and affiliate Distro supplies most other approved items at the same price charged to all franchisees. The royalty is 7% of Non-Recommerce Revenue and 4% of Recommerce Revenue on a 10-year initial term, with renewal available to franchisees who remodel, stay default-free, and pay a $10,000 renewal fee.

Questions vendors ask

UBreakIFix by Asurion, answered from the filing

Lisa Culp, President of uBreakiFix, oversees the brand's technology mandate, which flows through parent Asurion. Vendors should approach Asurion's approved-supplier process directly, since the POS System, payment processor, and Information Systems are all designated at the corporate level rather than chosen by individual stores.
Item 11 requires every store to obtain a designated POS System and payment processor, plus the computer, receipt printer, cash drawer, and barcode scanner that go with it, all from an approved supplier that may be a company affiliate. The FDD also names Yahoo in Item 2, without designating it as required tech.
677 stores in the retail tech-repair segment, 549 of them franchised and 128 company-owned.
Item 8 runs an approved-supplier list, splitting purchases between Designated Products and Services bought from the franchisor, its affiliates, or designated suppliers, and Ancillary Products and Services bought from approved suppliers. Apparel and uniform inventory must come from the franchisor or its designated suppliers, and franchisees may propose alternatives for approval.
The initial term is 10 years, with renewal available to franchisees in good standing who remodel or refresh the store, keep default-free status, and pay a $10,000 renewal fee. Franchised outlets held roughly flat year over year, so renewals look like the steadier driver of near-term tech refreshes.
