CPR Cell Phone Repair is pleased to announce a new master franchise agreement that will introduce CPR’s highly successful franchise system to Africa.

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio – March 10, 2016 – PRLog — CPR Cell Phone Repair, the largest and fastest growing retail mobile device repair franchise network in North America, is pleased to announce a new master franchise agreement in Africa. The master franchise agreement establishes a plan to introduce CPR’s highly successful franchise system to Africa, one of the world’s largest and fastest growing markets for mobile devices.

CPR Cell Phone Repair has entered into a master franchise agreement with Abdoulaye Bamogo and BBC & Partners, a group of pan-African technology executives. Mr. Bamogo and BBC & Partners will initially open CPR franchises in Burkina Faso, Cameroon and Nigeria. After these first franchises are established, the agreement is to expand CPR’s franchise services into other countries across Africa.

With a population of almost 1.2 billion, Africa is one of the fastest growing markets for mobile phones. Mobile phones are more than a simple communication device for African consumers, as mobile banking, mobile trading and mobile education are developing more quickly there than any other place in the world. Mobile devices are critical component of daily life and African consumers rely heavily on their use.

Abdoulaye Bamogo has an extensive background in industrial engineering with companies such as Coca Cola, PMGI Paris and Total Nigeria. In 2010, he formed his own management consulting business that focuses on technologies and innovation. Mr. Bamogo received his MBA from University de Versailles and Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. He currently lives in Paris with his wife and two children.

“We are delighted to have signed this master franchise agreement with Mr. Bamogo and BBC & Partners. Africa is certainly an enormous market for smartphone services and it’s continuing to grow. This new partnership is an extraordinary opportunity to expand CPR’s global footprint into Africa,” stated Josh Sevick, CPR President.
