Store Hours:
Monday Friday: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Saturday: Noon to 7 p.m.
MDtekk, a technology repair store, is celebrating its grand opening today in the Village.
The store will have sales on cases and technology accessories all day, while the main events will start at 1 p.m. Anyone who purchases something or has a repair done will be entered into a raffle to win a 32-inch Samsung TV. There will also be a ribbon-cutting ceremony with the Muncie Chamber of Commerce.
Zachary Marvel, owner of MDtekk and a graduate of Ball State, said that students are needing repairs for their electronics more and more. The business offers screen repairs for iPhones, iPads, iPods, and Galaxy phones and tablets.
Marvel and Justin Dunmyer, also a graduate of Ball State, had started the company in August 2013 and opened their second shop in May in Anderson, Ind.
“We noticed a demand and a need for an affordable place and a quick place to get your electronics repaired, [especially] with people using their iPads and tablets for books,” Marvel said. “With these electronics breaking, we realized that there was a large need, especially on a college campus, [for a place] where students can go to a trusted place to get stuff repaired, no funny business.”
The store promises 30-minute repairs, as long as the parts are in stock. They also have a 30-day warranty on their repairs.
“If it’s clearly something that we did, we will replace it, no cost to you,” said Billy Sutton, an MDtekk employee and sophomore computer technology major. “We’re very customer-oriented … one of the big benefits about coming here is that we’ll make sure you don’t get left without a phone.”
Cory Allgood, senior business major, has worked at MDtekk since February. He said the new store’s location was chosen to be more convenient for students.
“If your phone breaks, you don’t have to go to the mall or off campus somewhere,” Allgood said. “You could hop on Ball State’s bus to come right to the Village. That’s mainly why we’re here, for the students.”
