MELBOURNE, FL — In response to surging demand for the latest wireless voice and data services along Florida's Space Coast, Verizon Wireless has opened a new 3,000-square-foot retail location in Viera. The full-service store located at 6670 Colonnade Avenue (in The Avenue shopping complex) already is serving customers through its dedicated customer service area, an expanded demonstration floor and a self-serve bill-payment kiosk.
The store will celebrate its grand opening on September 9, 2006, with complimentary food and refreshments, drawings for wireless merchandise, and local radio stations broadcasting live onsite. Also, new customers will be able to take advantage of special discounts that week, such as $25 off the price of any phone priced at $100 or higher, and waived activation fee ($35 value) with a two-year contract.
"This Viera store is part of our commitment to provide our customers here with increased convenience and responsive customer service," said Mike Lanman, Florida region president for Verizon Wireless. "Every day, more people here are taking advantage of the state's most reliable wireless network, finding fun and value in new services like V CAST, GetPIX Picture Messaging and NationalAccess high-speed wireless data."
