Growing iPod repair business founded by students will move to new digs…
February 29, 2008
PEORIA - A Peoria-based company started by a couple college students who recognized a need has decided it will do its growing here at home.
That growth for iRepair Squad has been nothing short of phenomenal in its first year and as it moves toward millions of dollars in annual sales and 100-plus employees, it will relocate to larger quarters in East Peoria that can accommodate the expected growth.
James Scaggs, founder of the company, said he eschewed offers from other, larger cities and elected to stay here “because the people here believe in us and what we’re doing.”
Also, he believes the company’s growth will be faster if it doesn’t uproot itself from the area and existing employees.
“It’s a blessing to be able to provide opportunities for others. It’s part of what motivated me,” Scaggs said during a news conference Thursday at the Peoria NEXT Innovation Center.
Through agreements reached with area civic and business leaders, educational institutions and financial institutions, iRepair Squad will take over about one-third of the East Peoria Convention Center in May.
