Dr. Phone Fix Expanding Rapidly Across Canada with Ambitious Growth Plans
Dr. Phone Fix, a Canadian electronics repair and certified pre-owned device retailer, is in rapid expansion mode across the country, with plans to hit 125 locations by 2030.
The company, founded in August 2019, opened its first store in St. Albert, Alberta, and has grown quickly since then to 35 locations stretching “all the way from Victoria to Ontario.”
“There was always a demand for certified repair services. Electronics are getting expensive—cell phones, iPads—they cost an arm and a leg these days,” says Piyush Sawhney, Founder and CEO of Dr. Phone Fix.
“That’s where we saw the market demand. People are moving toward repair services and certified pre-owned devices. With phone prices rising, repair just makes sense.”
Sawhney says the company is currently working through new leases and has “a few locations in the pipeline coming soon.”
Looking ahead, Dr. Phone Fix is targeting “125 locations by 2030.”
The company’s growth strategy includes focusing on shopping plazas with high-traffic anchor tenants. “Our primary focus is shopping plazas with strong anchor tenants. Those anchors drive traffic to the plaza, and that’s where we get more customers,” explains Sawhney.
Dr. Phone Fix recently earned national recognition by being named to the Financial Times list of fastest-growing companies.
“It’s definitely exciting,” says Sawhney. “It distinguishes our business from others in the same category. I’m really thankful to our customers and employees who contributed. We have about 27,000 positive online reviews and a large customer database. We’re very excited to be on the list. Only 48 Canadian companies made it, and I’m proud to say we’re one of them.”
This comes on the heels of the Globe and Mail recognizing the brand twice on its annual company growth list.
Adding to its momentum, Dr. Phone Fix officially became a publicly traded company on the TSX Venture Exchange on March 4, 2025.
“The response has been great,” says Sawhney. “It’s another distinction for us in our category, and we’re quite happy with it.”
He believes the move to go public offers a compelling opportunity for investors.
“Phones are something everyone has—people can relate,” he says. “Investors who missed the bus when Apple or Samsung went public now have the opportunity to be part of the telecom industry at an early stage. It’s exciting.”
The company, which is based in Edmonton, continues to see strong demand for its services and products as the cost of new electronics rises and consumer interest in sustainable options like repair and refurbishment grows.
