AT&T Unveils New Wireless Store In Leesburg

LEESBURG, Va., July 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- As people's lives become increasingly mobile and fast paced, and to address the growing demand for advanced wireless data products and services, AT&T* today announced the opening of a new wireless retail store in Leesburg.

The store is located at the popular new shopping destination, Village at Leesburg, and has a state-of-the-art, hands-on design to engage customers and provide a "try before buy" service experience. Trained sales consultants will provide demonstrations of a wide range of wireless products. Shoppers can also test out various advanced wireless data applications including GPS navigation, mobile social networking or mobile television.

"We want to ensure our customers have an exceptional in-store experience, and that begins with a convenient store location, layout, and knowledgeable staff," said Rob Forsyth, vice president and general manager for AT&T in northern Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. "We are excited to be a part of the growing Leesburg community by providing advanced wireless products and services that help keep customers connected at work, home, or on the go."

May, who represents Leesburg in the Virginia House of Delegates. "AT&T's decision to expand into Leesburg is great for those who live in, work in, or visit our community."

Led by manager Joe Andino, the Leesburg store has a staff of four employees who are trained to assist customers — both business and consumer — with purchasing decisions, customer service and technical support. Hours of operation are Monday through Saturday 10:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m., Sunday 12:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.
