Wireless Zone® Celebrates Strong Third Quarter With Plans to Open Four New Locations by the End of the Year

For more than three decades, Wireless Zone® has established itself as a leader in the wireless cellular segment. As Verizon’s largest and only single-carrier outlet, Wireless Zone® provides award-winning customer service to hundreds of local communities across the United States. Now, after an incredibly strong third quarter of 2019, the brand is eager to wrap up the year on an equally high note.

Since being founded in 1998, Wireless Zone® has adapted to a constantly changing technological landscape and has developed a business model that positions franchisees for success, with a low investment model, active community outreach, strong revenue stream and proven support system.

As 2019 comes to an end, Wireless Zone® has experienced exceptional growth and progress. Throughout the third quarter, the cellular retail store served 103,120 unique customers and brought in over 135,000 transactions in total. According to Keith Dziki, Wireless Zone®’s Executive Director of Development, the brand saw a 1.7% increase in systemwide sales.

Third quarter growth

In addition, Wireless Zone® has opened three new locations in Q3 and another two since the start of Q4, with two additional locations slated to open by the end of the year. As of today, Wireless Zone® features a network of 392 locations nationwide.

Moving forward, Wireless Zone® has targeted three major areas for continued development, including Dallas-Fort Worth, Chicago and South Florida. In a segment as saturated as the mobile industry, the Wireless Zone® leadership is working to strategically grow in these key markets in order to ensure that customers all across the country are able to find convenient and easy access to Verizon.

5g expansion plans

These critical growth markets include an anticipated demand for the fifth generation of cellular mobile communications—5G. The advent of 5G will mean a higher data rate and augmented capacity and device connectivity. With the 5G future growing closer every day, Verizon’s 5G wireless network technology will be first to market in the U.S. with both fixed and mobile versions. Wireless Zone® has a number of 5G-ready phones to support faster downloads, superior video streaming and virtual or augmented reality capabilities.

Verizon expects to have a total of 30 city locations where 5G cellular service is offered by the end of 2019, including many of the areas that Wireless Zone® currently franchises, such as Minneapolis/St. Paul, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Columbus, Dallas, Houston, Providence, New York, Washington and Memphis.

The commitment to providing the latest and greatest in cellular technology has resulted in the renowned recognition of Wireless Zone® as a legacy brand and top franchise opportunity. Some of the brand’s awards include a ranking on the Franchise Times Top 200 2019 (No. 139), Entrepreneur Franchise 500 (No. 355), Entrepreneur Fastest Growing (No. 122)****, Top Franchise for Veterans 2019 and Franchise Gator Top 100 (No. 75).

“Wireless Zone has continued to stay relevant in this ever-changing industry and country,” said Dziki. “We’ve adapted our model, image, offering, and more over the last 30 years. As we move into 2020, we are excited to continue the explosive success we’ve experienced for franchisees.”
