The sleek and modern full-service Verizon Wireless Evolution Stores, featuring a full suite of Verizon wireless voice, data, music and video products, will forever change how Bay Area citizens come to view their “cell phone store.” “We are the leaders in providing Bay Area customers with the next generation of one-stop Verizon Wireless Evolution Stores,” said Robert Marhamat, Vice President of Sales with EVO². “Our innovative stores make it easy for customers to find all of their communications products and services in one convenient place from one convenient provider without driving all over town.” Customers entering the full-service modern stores for the first time know something is very different. Among the innovative new features of the EVO² Verizon Wireless Evolution Store are: - An information kiosk where customers are checked-in and can monitor their customer service queue position on storewide monitors. - Technical assistance pods where customers can comfortably find quick and easy answers to their product use questions. - Demo areas staffed by professional associates where customers are encouraged to try Verizon’s full-suite of wireless voice, data, music and video services hands-on before purchasing. “We are the only retail store from a wireless provider that encourages customers to try the product live in store before they actually purchase the product or sign up for service,” said Marhamat. “You can’t gage the sound clarity of a cellular phone by staring at a non-working demo cell phone. At our stores, we want our customers to pick up a phone, make a real phone call and hear the great sound quality for themselves.” The eighteen new EVO² Verizon Wireless Evolution Stores are located throughout the Bay Area including San Jose, San Mateo, Redwood City, Hayward, San Francisco, Tracy, Concord, Brentwood - with 12 additional locations opening by January 2010.
