THE LATEST addition to Wokingham’s town centre has been revealed: a new Vodafone store.
It is the first of the big phone networks to open a branch and it will be situated in Market Place, in the home of the old Specsavers branch.
It was vacated when the opticians moved into the former Cargo store in Denmark Street.
Vodafone’s branch will open on Tuesday, December 6 and the phone giant said that the new store will have opportunities for customers to try out some of the latest phones and tablets, find out about new products and services and get customer assistance.
The company is one of the biggest mobile phone operators in the UK with more than 18 million customers.
Vodafone is excited to be moving in
Kashif Chowhan, Vodafone Retail Regional Manager for Home Counties, said: “I’m really excited that we are opening a fresh new store in Wokingham and bringing our range of products and services to both existing customers and new customers.
“It’s been an exciting year for us, so we are delighted to be able to welcome customers into store to have a chat about anything from the launch of our new Business Premier Plans, to the removal of line-rental charges on Fibre Home Broadband.”
He added: “Customers will also experience our new store layout, giving an opportunity to experience our range of live demo products, as well as an extended portfolio of mobile and tablet accessories.
“Plus, new customers will be able to take full advantage of our Network Satisfaction Guarantee to trial Vodafone’s 4G network in Wokingham, giving them the freedom to make sure it’s the right choice for them.”
Giving Something Back
And the company is keen to be good neighbours in Wokingham borough, pledging to actively play its part.
Mr Chowhan said: “On a personal note, I’m keen to see the store team actively get involved in the local community.
“We are very passionate about our Giving Something Back programme which will allow us to help support local community groups and charities. I look forward to bringing this to Wokingham.”
