"On-Line Guy" Downloads Franchise

A funny thing happened while surfing the `net; computer technician Steve Gray downloaded the Business Opportunity of a lifetime. Geeks On Call®, the premier provider of on-site computer solutions, would like to introduce Steve Gray as the owner and operator of the newest Geeks  Franchise in North Carolina. Indeed Geeks On Call® is thrilled to have Mr. Gray join its team, and is comforted to know that his expertise will help malfunctioning computers get back on-line in no time.

Not only will Mr. Gray handle the business side of his franchise, but also will serve as its mobile technician. Mr. Gray's experience with computers is extensive; he has earned the A and Network certifications, has been employed for 17 years in the field of tech support, both the in-person and over-the-phone varieties, and is an expert in Windows, Unix, and Linux. His love of computers isn't limited to his professional duties; for numerous years he has been a home PC hobbyist, and enjoys tinkering with the latest and greatest hardware and operating systems. As the President of Geeks On Call®, Walter Ewell, is eager to point out, "Mr. Gray's impressive credentials mean that home-owners and businesses in the vicinity of Raleigh/Durham can be certain their computers will receive the best of care."

The most interesting aspect of Mr. Gray's techno-savvy is that he has integrated it into his life to such an extent that he no longer needs certain niceties that the rest of us can?t live without. The best example of this is his embracing of internet banking. Mr. Gray has banked on-line exclusively for the past five years, and not once during that time has he visited an actual bank. His reliance on the internet is not limited to financial transactions; he is a self-professed "on-line guy" who receives all of his daily news from the web. In fact, his fondness for surfing the `net is what led him to discover Geeks On Call®. One day, while casually browsing the web, he stumbled across a news story discussing modern computer geeks. This article championed the services of a popular company called Geeks On Call®, and Mr. Gray's curiosity prompted him to leap to the Geeks home-page. It was there he learned about the Franchise Opportunities available with Geeks On Call®?and the rest is history.

The premise of Geeks On Call® is simple: gone are the days of lugging computers to a local retailer for updates or repairs; instead, Geeks On Call® brings complete computer support directly to your home or business. Everything a Geeks technician needs to complete his tasks is nestled inside the high-profile "Geek-mobile", a sleek, patriot-blue Chrysler PT Cruiser emblazoned with the Geeks On Call® logo.

Launched in 1999, Geeks On Call® began its operations in Norfolk and Virginia Beach, VA, where it experienced immediate success. Overwhelmed by the public's hunger for dependable computer support, Geeks On Call® realized the only way to satisfy its ballooning customer base would be to franchise the company. In April 2001 the first Geeks offspring was born, and in the past year and-a-half nearly 70 Franchises have been planted throughout the United States. Not only have the expedient, reliable services provided by Geeks On Call® found success with residential clients, but also with small businesses who simply cannot afford the enormous expense of hiring a full-time IT staff. Now everyone can have access to the highest quality repairs, upgrades, troubleshooting, training, and networking?without emptying their wallets.
