WALNUT CREEK, CA — Wireless users in San Jose who are looking to get hands-on experience with cutting-edge voice, data, music and video devices have a new place to call home.

Verizon Wireless is celebrating the grand opening of its new “evolution” communications store in San Jose and one of the first in the nation to seek LEED® certification. The store offers consumers hands-on interaction with wireless voice, data, music and video services in a sleek, new full-service environment. The new store is located at 150 South King Road in San Jose.

Wireless customers can sample a wide array of fully-activated new phones and devices first hand for a total wireless experience. What’s more, data users can learn how to stay connected in more places with Mobile Broadband; learn about the Mi-Fi™ 2200 (your own personal Wi-Fi hotspot); experience the new netbooks; and find out about smartphone platforms including RIM, Android™, Windows Mobile®, and Palm®.

LEED® Certification
The new San Jose store is among the first Verizon Wireless retail locations in the nation to apply for LEED certification from the United States Green Building Council (USGBC).

The store’s design optimizes water and energy use, enhances indoor environmental quality and reduces waste through specifications and responsible procurement and construction practices. The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System™ is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of high-performance green buildings.

“Our new, green store in the West Valley provides plenty of space for both shopping and customer service, in keeping with our commitment to deliver innovative voice and data plans, exciting new devices and services and the best possible wireless experience,” said Kevin Zavaglia, Verizon Wireless region president.
