The Laredo Sprint Store re-opened its doors at a new location recently, a few doors down from its previous site. The new retail store at 201 W. Del Mar Blvd., and the local Sprint PCS Service is operated and managed by Alamosa PCS, a Sprint PCS Network Partner.
The move reflects a rise in Sprint's customer base. "Laredo has grown, and so has Sprint PCS," said Gil Lopez, Laredo market manager. The new location will give current Sprint customers more options to serve their communications needs. New customers now have the opportunity to experience Sprint service first-hand.
"Sprint's wireless division uses the most up-to-date technology to offer the best communications products and services available, " said David Sharbutt, CEO of Alamosa PCS. "We're proud to assist Laredo and the surrounding area with their communications needs."
