EDINA, Minn. -- (Business Wire)
Sprint (NYSE: S) today announced the establishment of its Great Plains
Region headquarters in Edina, Minnesota. The Great Plains Region
geographic area covers Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, and
South Dakota. It includes more than 100 company-owned or Sprint-branded
retail stores.
The new ONE Sprint organizational change announced earlier this year
divided operations into 18 regions across the country. Each region is
responsible for local sales, marketing, network performance, customer
experience, and community engagement. “Bringing in local leadership
allows us to be more responsive to our customers and connected to their
experiences,” explained Michael McMahon, President of the new Great
Plains Region. The new headquarters at 7700 S. France Ave. in Edina, MN
is home to the region’s Retail, Indirect, Business Sales, Marketing, and
Operations teams.
The creation of the new headquarters comes amid recent independent
network studies showing Sprint shares first place rank in call
performance and network reliability in the Twin Cities and Omaha.
Analysis of independent third-party data also shows Sprint’s delivery of
average download data speeds ahead of the other major carriers in the
market. “More customers are flocking to Sprint to take advantage of our
LTEPlus network download speeds and our 50% off competitor rate plans
promotion1. We’re committed to provide a great in-store
experience, as well,” McMahon said. He also shared that Sprint is in the
midst of expanding its distribution, and plans to add more than 200 jobs
at branded stores in the region over the next year.
