MacPC Store recently opened at 648 Grand Street. Owner, Juvensio Castillo, has been repairing computers and phones for 21 years. He opened the original MacPC store ten years ago in Ridgewood, Queens, and is excited to open the second location of the computer repair store on Grand Street! Juvencio realized that many of his customers were traveling to Ridgewood from East Williamsburg for repair services. Upon finding out that the storefront at 648 Grand was up for rent, he decided to jump on the opportunity.
Computer repair is becoming a more vital service, as the pandemic caused an enormous surge in people working from home. The past few months months have been critical for Juvencio’s clients. As people rely more heavily on personal computers and electronic devices for their livelihood, crashes and malfunctions are more detrimental than ever. A lot of people came to MacPC store with computer damages that made it difficult for children doing remote learning, and for people working from home. A main challenge for many customers during this time is affording repairs. So, Juvencio thought about how to help them.
