September 18, 2025

AUSTIN, TX – September 10, 2025 – Techy, a fast-growing international electronics repair and technology franchise, today announced a landmark partnership with beloved Texas grocery chain H-E-B. The collaboration will bring convenient and expert “store-within-a-store” Techy hubs to H-E-B locations, offering shoppers on-the-spot repair services for smartphones, tablets, computers, and game consoles, as well as smart home device installation and support.

This strategic alliance is set to redefine retail convenience by merging essential grocery shopping with critical technology support. In today’s fast-paced world, a broken device can disrupt work, school, and family life. This partnership eliminates that friction by allowing H-E-B shoppers to drop off a device for a screen replacement, battery swap, or software diagnostic while they shop, turning multiple errands into one seamless and productive trip. The first Techy hubs are scheduled to launch in select Austin, Dallas, and Houston area H-E-B stores in Q4 2025, with a broader statewide expansion planned for 2026.

“Partnering with H-E-B, an iconic and trusted Texas institution, is a natural fit for us,” said William Daragan, CEO of Techy. “H-E-B is woven into the fabric of Texas life, known for its unwavering commitment to community and customer service—values we share deeply at Techy. This isn’t just about fixing phones; it’s about providing a reliable, local tech lifeline where people already are. We are thrilled to bring our expert service and customer-first values to the H-E-B family and offer an incredible opportunity for our franchisees to operate within one of the most respected retail footprints in the country.”

The in-store Techy hubs will be staffed by certified technicians providing a comprehensive suite of services with transparent pricing. This includes common hardware repairs like screen and battery replacements, and water damage diagnostics. To further serve the community and the environment, the hubs will also feature Techy’s electronics buyback program. This initiative offers customers instant cash for their used smartphones, tablets, and laptops, putting money back in their pockets while giving old devices a new life and preventing harmful e-waste from ending up in landfills. The locations will also feature a curated selection of certified pre-owned devices, protective accessories, and Techy’s signature TechySave device protection plans.

“At H-E-B, we are constantly seeking innovative ways to enhance our customers’ shopping experience and simplify their lives,” said [Name and Title of H-E-B Executive, e.g., Sarah Johnson, VP of In-Store Services] for H-E-B. “Our partnership with Techy allows us to offer another layer of essential value. In an age where staying connected is vital, this ensures our customers have immediate, trustworthy access to the tech support they need, making their H-E-B run more productive than ever.”

This partnership also highlights a significant growth opportunity for entrepreneurs through Techy’s proven franchise model. Following a successful partnership inside Walmart, this expansion with H-E-B reinforces Techy’s position as a leader in integrated retail tech services.
