Business Wire
Sprint (NYSE: S) is rapidly expanding its retail distribution
with its “store-within-a-store” concept at co-branded RadioShack
locations.
General Wireless Operations announced today that it completed
the purchase of the RadioShack brand, securing Sprint’s ability to
quickly expand its presence and give consumers access to
industry-first leasing plans and the latest devices. Sprint will
have a presence in 1,435 Sprint-RadioShack stores by the first week
of July. About 300 stores will be completely renovated to the new
store-within-a-store model at that time, with the remainder
scheduled to be completed by the end of the year. These stores will
have new signage, new fixtures and a look-and-feel that is similar
to other Sprint-owned stores.
The addition of the Sprint-RadioShack stores expands Sprint’s
total retail footprint to approximately 4,500 locations in the
United States.
“We are quickly revamping these stores across the country to
provide a great customer experience,” said Jaime Jones, president,
Postpaid and General Business, Sprint. “The Sprint Store at
RadioShack will give customers more convenient locations where they
can buy our Sprint, Boost and Virgin Mobile products. There has
never been a better time to do business with us.”
Retail store expansion and Direct 2 You
Coupled with an aggressive retail expansion, Sprint recently
announced the innovative Direct 2 You service. Through this
one-of-a-kind offering, a Sprint expert helps customers set up a
Sprint mobile device at any location the customer chooses.
Originally offered only to existing Sprint customers, Direct 2 You
has expanded and is now available to everyone, including those
ready to switch to Sprint. This service is expected to roll out
nationwide with thousands of vehicles throughout 2015.
“By expanding our branded retail stores and introducing the
innovative Direct 2 You service, we’re offering customers
convenience, flexibility and choice when doing business with
Sprint,” Jones said.
