CARSON CITY, NV — In response to the growing demand for Verizon Wireless' communications products, the nation's largest wireless provider has opened a new retail store in Carson City. The new store, located in North Town Plaza has created seven new jobs. The company now owns and operates four Verizon Wireless Communications stores throughout the Carson City and Reno areas, which together employ more than 30 people.
"Wireless communications products and services are becoming more affordable everyday especially with our current offering," said Keith Ard, director of retail stores. "Customers can take advantage of the company's 3,000 free nights and weekend home airtime minutes per month for life on local, regional, national or Family SharePlans, which start at $35 monthly access, with annual agreement. As long as a customer chooses an eligible rate plan and stays on that plan they will always have 3,000 [nights and weekend] home airtime minutes."
Verizon Wireless' stores offer a premier line of digital wireless phones, data products and hands-free calling accessories. Customers can check out the latest wireless Internet and two-way text messaging services, including MobileWeb, Mobile MessengerSM and Mobile Office.
