Computer-Support Franchisor Geeks On Call cascades into Pacific Northwest

Hot on the heels of its successful expansion into California, computer-support franchisor Geeks On Call® has begun a vigorous rollout in the Pacific Northwest. Already the company has three Franchises in Seattle with another three scheduled to open next month, and it has just opened four franchises in Portland with another three expected to open by the end of the 2005 calendar year.

The two men responsible for bringing Geeks On Call® to the Pacific Northwest are both adept at running successful businesses. Josh Keeler, the Geeks’ franchisee in Seattle, has over 14 years of experience running several companies, including two restaurants and an acupuncture practice. In Portland, franchisee Terry Furtado’s high-tech expertise stretches back 20 years, during which time he worked for several information-technology (IT) firms—most notably Intel—and spent three years running his own IT company. It is this time-tested business acumen that makes both men perfectly suited to guide this newest chapter in the Geeks’ thriving West Coast expansion.

Geeks On Call® is America’s leading independent provider of on-site computer services for homes and small businesses. The company’s certified, trained, and tested technicians drive blue Chrysler PT Cruisers featuring the Geeks On Call® logo and toll-free phone number. Services include installations of hardware and wireless networks, computer privacy and security solutions, troubleshooting, repairs, consulting, and upgrades. Founded in 1999, Geeks On Call® began Franchising in 2001 and today has 340 independently owned and operated franchises nationwide.
