It's Business as Usual - For Richmond Cingular Store

Store in temporary quarters as superstore under construction

Cingular Wireless wants its customers to know that its Richmond location's staff is ready and willing to help them with all their wireless needs - but in unusual quarters. The store, formerly located at 830 Eastern Bypass, is moving into a trailer at the old Burger King lot at 470 Eastern Bypass, across from the new McDonald's, as the new 3,500 sq. foot Cingular store is being built on that same site.

Larry Fox, director of sales for the region, says, "We will have a full staff on hand to help our customers and a complete array of Cingular's innovative phones, PDAs, and accessories for them to choose from. The quarters may be smaller for now, but the service you'll get will still be the best in the business."

Cingular's former Richmond location closed its doors on December 28 and the temporary location will open for business on January 3. Store hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 6:00 p.m. on Sunday. The new 3,500 sq. foot store, featuring an open, customer-friendly design and Cingular's cutting-edge wireless products, is expected to open in April.

Cingular is also planning a January 19-21 Grand Opening for its new 3,700 sq. foot Lexington superstore, located at 111 W. Reynolds Rd. between Target and Arby's. Cingular customers can take advantage of special promotions and sales during the celebration.
