AT&T Opens New Store in Statesboro, One of the First in the Nation with New Entertainment Design

Staff Report From Savannah CEO

Wednesday, June 27th, 2018

AT&T debuted a new entertainment-focused retail store in Statesboro this past week. We designed the store to help you get your hands on the entertainment content you want anytime, anywhere and on any device.
 
The new store design reflects the changing ways our customers use their mobile devices for entertainment. In the last year alone, video traffic on our network grew over 75%. In our new store, you can interact with content across many different screens and find the best video, internet and wireless options available from AT&T. This unique store joins our lineup of more than 5,300 AT&T owned and authorized retail stores nationwide.
 
“Investment is key to Bulloch County continuing to thrive and serve our citizens,” said Bulloch County Commission Chair Roy Thompson. “I am proud Statesboro is one of the first communities with AT&T’s new store design and applaud AT&T for their commitment to our community and helping deliver the connectivity our citizens are demanding.”
 
Some key features of the new store format are:

·         Entertainment, everywhere. Our new stores illustrate the intersection of content and connection. We train our sales consultants to show how services, like DIRECTV and DIRECTV NOW and products can add value to your connected life.

·         Smartphones and more. We’ve moved the phones off the walls to the center of the store to make it easier to compare and choose what’s best for you. We also have focus areas to show the most popular brands that have products like VR glasses, tablets or smartwatches that work with your smartphone. We expanded our lineup of accessories, and we’ve made them easier to find.

·         A comfortable experience. We’ve designed these stores for you to have a personalized connection with our sales consultants and services. And we know selecting a phone, plan and sometimes adding TV and home broadband to your list takes longer than grabbing a shirt off the rack. So we added comfortable areas where you and our sales consultants can work together.
 
The new store is located at 416 Northside Drive East in Statesboro. The hours of operation are: 9 a.m. – 8 p.m., Monday through Saturday and 12 p.m. – 6 p.m. on Sunday.
 
“AT&T is more than just a communications and technology leader,” said Marvy Moore, VP/GM for AT&T Georgia. “We’re also a leader in entertainment, delivering your favorite shows and videos across multiple screens and on-the-go. Our new Statesboro store design reflects that focus.”
