New nTelos stores coming soon
I have news about nTelos’ plans for additional stores and service in the Roanoke and New River valleys.
In September, this wireless service provider will open a retail location at the Kroger Square at Bonsack, a new center in Roanoke County. Also that month, it plans to open its doors in Blacksburg at 1326 South Main St.
In October, nTelos will locate a store at Keagy Village, a shopping center under construction on Electric Road in Southwest Roanoke County.
These openings will bring nTelos’ total to 10 locations in the Roanoke and New River valleys.
The company also has launched a nationwide mobile broadband service, which covers Southwest Virginia. It offers wireless access from laptops, PDA/Smartphones and cell phones to the Internet. The speed is comparable to wired broadband connections, and it’s ten times faster than dial-up, nTelos claims.
NTelos added 20 new cell sites in the Roanoke Valley earlier this year.
Speaking of wireless retailers, an AT&T store in Christiansburg is celebrating its grand opening this Saturday. The store on Spradlin Farm Drive is offering a variety of special discounts, including 50 percent off flip phones and free ring tone cards.
And since we’ve talked about icy treats lately, I couldn’t resist telling you that there will be free Cold Stone Creamery ice cream there.
