Geeks On Call Amongst the �10 Hottest Deals In Franchising�
In a list of the �10 Hottest Deals in Franchising� published in the September 2004 issue of Black Enterprise Magazine, the fifth spot is occupied by those memorable geeks from Geeks On Call� -- the nation�s premier provider of on-site computer services.

Norfolk, VA (PRWEB) August 26, 2004 -- On a list of the most in-demand franchise companies for 2004, you would expect to find many popular, familiar names coming from the hotel and fast-food industries. However, you might be surprised to know that standing shoulder to shoulder with these big names is a modest group of computer geeks. In a list of the �10 Hottest Deals in Franchising� published in the September 2004 issue of Black Enterprise Magazine, the fifth spot is occupied by those memorable geeks from Geeks On Call� -- the nation�s premier provider of on-site computer services.

Being named to this list is an acknowledgement of the explosive growth enjoyed by Geeks On Call� during the past few years. The Geeks� commendation is even more impressive in light of the fact that a little over three years ago they were a small, simple operation located mostly in Norfolk, Va. Since then, the Geeks� concept has been embraced by hundreds of computer professionals across America, resulting in the formation of approximately 190 franchises in 13 states plus the District of Columbia.

Although Geeks On Call�s� ranking alongside elite companies may seem surprising to some people outside the information-technology (IT) industry, it comes as no surprise to one of the company�s biggest Geeks -- President Walter Ewell. �From day-one I knew there were tremendous things in store for Geeks On Call�,� remarked Ewell. �With the increase of people who telecommute or operate home-based businesses, personal computers have become more essential than ever before. Since more and more people are depending on their home computers for their livelihood, they can�t afford to drop off their entire system at a repair shop every time something goes wrong.�

Another factor in the Geeks� success is the continuing employment turmoil in the IT industry. The alarming numbers of high-tech jobs that are being outsourced to foreign countries has resulted in a shortage of available positions for highly qualified computer professionals here in the U.S. As the result, countless American workers have disembarked from the roller-coaster ride otherwise known as the IT industry, and have stepped out of the shadow of the ever-looming pink slip. Many of them have found self-employment to be the answer to their career woes, and naturally they have sought opportunities that utilize their existing IT skills�such as becoming the owner of a franchise with Geeks On Call�.

Geeks On Call� is the high-tech equivalent of a doctor who makes house calls. Not only have the expedient, reliable services provided by Geeks On Call� found success with residential clients, but also with small businesses that simply cannot afford the enormous expense of hiring an IT staff. Everything the Geeks' technicians need to complete their tasks is nestled inside their sleek patriot-blue Chrysler PT Cruisers -- affectionately known as �Geek Cruisers� �- which are emblazoned with the Geeks On Call� logo and toll-free phone number. Thanks to Geeks On Call�, everyone has access to superior computer repairs, upgrades, troubleshooting, personalized training, networking and custom-built PCs �-without emptying their wallets.

Currently, Geeks On Call� offers service in the following states: Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. To schedule fast, on-site computer support, call 1-800-905-GEEK. For more information on the services provided by Geeks On Call�, log onto www.geeksoncall.com.
