## Story

Wireless Zone is looking at a large expansion in the state of Florida, and is focusing efforts on growing in the Orlando area. The *Orlando Business Journal*recently spoke with Executive Vice President Dave Staszewski about the brand and their plans for Orlando.

According to the article, Wireless Zone hopes to open 8-10 locations in Central Florida by adding new franchisees in the region.

Said Staszewski, “We normally put our stores in 2,000-square-foot spaces with good visibility from the road. We’re targeting local communities, and in many spots, there are new builds going on and we’d love to tack onto those as well.”

The article also mentions the requirements for prospective franchisees looking to join the Wireless Zone brand.

Said Staszewski, “Verizon had 40 targeted areas across the state, but we’re going to work hard to get into most of those spots. We have an intensive three-week new franchisee program where they come to Connecticut for training, too."
