Thanks, ericabiz. That's a good point. There are definitely some fantastic tech pros and business owners who operate at local independent stores. At Eden, we aim to find the very best tech pros, including many who work at independent shops, and provide them with additional compensation for when they are not working their primary jobs. In addition, we have some tech pros who prefer to do most of their jobs through Eden, as we enable them to live good, living wages. That said, we believe there will always be room in this market for shops, small and large, that treat their customers well!
Disclaimer: My boyfriend runs one of these in Austin; I've invested in it and am now the co-owner. I'm in full support of using a local independent shop after I spilled tea all over my Macbook Pro and killed it completely. He was able to get me back up and running within a couple hours; this was when I decided to invest in his shop.
