HOUSTON, Oct. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- NerdsToGo, the leading computer and technology repair service franchise, is looking to expand its presence in the Greater Houston area by opening 15 new locations within the next year. To showcase the NerdsToGo franchise opportunity, the brand will attend the 2021 Franchise Expo Houston (Booth #115) taking place at the NRG Center Oct. 29-30.

"The Greater Houston area is one of the largest and most diverse business regions in the nation and we see tremendous growth potential in this market," said Mark Jameson, chief support and development officer at Propelled Brands. "As the number of businesses choosing to work remotely continues to rise, tech service and repair is becoming a necessary and valuable resource. We are confident that with our proven business model, managed service plans, and the support and resources we provide, our franchisees will thrive."

NerdsToGo is currently seeking qualified franchisees to be owner-operators and help the brand grow across the United States. Prospective franchisees do not need experience in information technology but should have a strong desire to grow a successful business in their local community, developing relationships with small business owners to become their outsourced IT department.

The franchising sector forecasts to grow by seven percent by the end of 2021, with business services one of the sectors expected to accelerate that growth. The initial investment for a NerdsToGo franchise is approximately $146,200 - $217,050, including a $49,750 franchise fee. Ideal candidates have a net worth of $300,000, of which $80K is liquid. Additionally, NerdsToGo offers a special incentive for veterans and first responders, including paramedics, emergency medical technicians, police officers, sheriffs, and firefighters, including a 50% reduction on the franchise fee – a savings of $24,875.
