WOODSTOCK, GA — Verizon Wireless, which owns and operates the nation's most reliable wireless network serving 49.3 million customers, announces the opening of its newest location in Georgia. The new store, located in Woodstock at 121 Lauren Way, is open for business and will hold its official grand opening ceremony on Thursday, November 10 at 11 a.m. Representatives from the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce, Woodstock Police Department and The Safe America Foundation will share in the celebration.

Atlanta radio station WWWQ-FM "Q100" will broadcast live from Verizon Wireless Woodstock, November 8, 5—7 p.m. Atlanta Falcons Star Tight End Alge Crumpler will be onsite at the same time, November 8, 5—7 p.m., for a special meet and greet and autograph session with Verizon Wireless customers.

The Safe America Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to community and family safety, will also help commemorate the Verizon Wireless grand opening event. To help teach Cherokee County teenagers safe driving techniques, the organization will be onsite with driving simulators, providing an opportunity for teens to "drive" on wet and icy roads, in fog or at night. Instruction is free and will include training in skills of braking, vehicle control and avoiding distractions. The Safe America Foundation will be at the new Verizon Wireless location Saturday, November 12, Noon—4 p.m. All area teens are encouraged to attend.

In addition, Verizon Wireless will host a children's fingerprinting session at the store, Noon—2 p.m. on Saturday, November 12. In an effort to make area children safer, Verizon Wireless has partnered with the Woodstock Police Department to host the event. Parents are encouraged to bring their children to the store to create and file a permanent record of their fingerprints. These records have been proven to save lives in the case of lost or kidnapped children.

Verizon Wireless customers with handsets capable of receiving text messages are encouraged to sign-up to receive AMBER AlertsTM on those handsets. They can opt-in by going to www.verizonwireless.com, and choosing "Send TXT Messages" from the Get It Now® drop-down menu, or by logging directly into www.vtext.com, Verizon Wireless' TXT Messaging site. After logging in, customers go to the Alerts page and choose the "News and Tech" category, then click on the Wireless AMBER Alert banner. They will then be prompted to enter a zip code for the state or geographical area for which they want to receive Wireless AMBER Alerts.

The company continues to expand its retail presence to meet the growing demand for wireless products and services, and to make wireless shopping more convenient for customers. "This expansion represents our ongoing commitment to provide our growing Georgia customer base with increased convenience and an accessible, knowledgeable sales staff," said Dean Taylor, director — retail sales, Georgia/Alabama for Verizon Wireless.
