OVERLAND PARK, Kan. -- (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.
