- Facilities & Assets
- Texas Cellular Antoine operates from a fully built-out 2,380 SF retail space on Antoine Drive — one of Houston's highest-traffic corridors. The location has been continuously occupied since September 2015 with no relocations.
Included in the sale: professional repair tools and equipment, full POS system, display cases, inventory shelving, wall-mounted phone fixtures, and security cameras. The adjacent Barber King space is fully equipped with a hydraulic barber chair, massage bed, 2x 65" smart TVs, mini fridge, and custom front counters — all owned outright and transferring to the buyer.
Exterior signage for both Texas Cellular and Barber King is owned free and clear (estimated replacement value $10,000) and transfers with zero royalties. Total tangible assets included in the sale are valued at approximately $20,000+. Lease is $3,450/month with approximately 2+ years remaining (expires September 8, 2028). Landlord introduction and lease assignment support will be provided. - Market Outlook / Competition
- Texas Cellular Antoine operates in a recession-resistant segment — phone repair and prepaid wireless services are non-discretionary for the majority of Houston's working population. Demand holds steady regardless of economic conditions because consumers repair rather than replace devices when budgets tighten.
The Antoine Drive corridor serves a dense, underserved demographic with high prepaid wireless usage and consistent walk-in repair demand. With 900+ Google reviews accumulated over nearly a decade, Texas Cellular has built a review moat that new competitors cannot replicate overnight. Established reputation, trained staff, and a long-term lease create meaningful barriers to entry.
The co-located Barber King further anchors foot traffic and organically cross-promotes the store. No national franchise competitors occupy this immediate trade area. The business competes primarily on trust, speed, and price — all three are established advantages here. - Opportunities for Growth
- The current semi-absentee model leaves significant revenue on the table. A dedicated owner-operator working full-time can immediately capture growth through three primary channels:
1. Extended Hours & Floor Management — Current staffing limits throughput. An engaged owner who manages floor operations and repair turnaround times can meaningfully increase the daily ticket count.
2. B2B & Institutional Contracts — Phone repair contracts with local businesses, schools, churches, and insurance partners represent an untapped revenue stream. No active outreach is currently being done.
3. Digital Marketing — The business has 900+ reviews.
Longer term, the proven Texas Cellular brand, zero-royalty model, and replicable operational system make this an ideal foundation for a second location. The brand is fully owned — no franchisor permission required to expand.

About the Sale
- Seller Motivation
- The seller is a licensed Texas real estate and business broker who has operated
- Transition Support
- The seller will provide a structured 2–4 week in-person transition period covering all aspects of daily operations — opening/closing procedures, POS system, repair intake workflow, carrier activation portals (H2O, Vidapay, ePay, Prepaid IQ, Cricket), vendor relationships, and inventory sourcing.
Experienced technicians are already in place and handle the majority of day-to-day repairs independently. The business runs semi-absentee — the current owner works approximately 10 hours per week. A new owner-operator stepping in full-time will have significant upside from day one.
Seller is a licensed real estate and business broker and will remain available for 30–60 days post-closing for questions and introductions. Key vendor contacts, carrier accounts, and supplier relationships will be fully documented and transferred - Financing Options
- This is a prime SBA 7(a) loan candidate
