BELLEVUE, WA — In response to growing demand for the company's products and services, Verizon Wireless will officially celebrate the grand opening of its two newest retail locations--new retail kiosks in Kennewick and Richland, Washington--with an array of grand opening activities July 8 - 10. The kiosks are located at Columbia Center Mall and the Tri-Cities Circuit City.
"This expansion represents our commitment to provide our customers with increased convenience and an accessible, knowledgeable sales staff," said Kelley Kurtzman, Pacific Northwest regional president. "Demand for our wireless service continues to grow as more and more people are taking advantage of our recent network expansion into the Tri-Cities area." The network expansion was part of a greater expansion into eastern Washington, northeastern Oregon and north central Idaho, a $50 million project that took three years to complete.
As part of the grand opening celebration, Verizon Wireless will make a $1,500 donation to the Sexual Assault Response Center, an agency that dedicates itself to providing necessary services for victims of sexual assault. Through it's HopeLine® program, Verizon Wireless collects used wireless phones and accessories that are recycled, or refurbished and sold, providing funds to award grants and phones with airtime to domestic violence prevention agencies.
