Telecom Lead America: T-Mobile USA is planning to open
more than 350 retail locations, in both company-owned and branded retailer
formats.
TPR stores are owned and operated by third-party experts
in wireless services and align with the company’s commitment to provide the
best customer experience possible.
T-Mobile’s T-Mobile Premium Retailer (TPR) program began
in late 2007. Currently, T-Mobile has a nationwide branded presence through
approximately 2,000 company-owned and 1,000 TPR stores.
The telecom major opened its 1,000th T-Mobile Premium
Retailer (TPR) store, located in Pompano Beach, Fla.
Based in Tulsa, Okla., Catcorp has been a T-Mobile
branded retailer since 2009 and operates 38 additional stores in the Miami,
Atlanta, Tulsa, Wichita, Kan., and Springfield, Mo., markets.
The TPR program is one of T-Mobile’s branded retailer
programs and provides customers with a seamless shopping experience, offering
them the same quality level of products and service as company-owned locations.
Our TPR program has been a huge success for the company
and our branded retailers and customers alike reaching this 1,000th store
milestone is an impressive moment,” said Mike Sentowski, vice president of
national dealer programs for T-Mobile USA.
We’ve seen great momentum, and in just the past 18
months alone, the program has grown approximately 120 percent, demonstrating
the strong relationships and commitment between T-Mobile and our branded
retailers,” Sentowski added.
This newest TPR location will offer Pompano Beach-area
customers innovative products running on America’s Largest 4G Network combined
with a best-in-class retail experience. The store features the company’s new
global design format, created to help simplify the consumer retail experience
and make it more personal for each customer.
Through the unparalleled support and training we receive
from T-Mobile and the cache of their brand, along with their innovative
products and nationwide 4G network, our business relationship has proven to be
a model that works,” said Carl Ducato, president, Catcorp.
