New Verizon Wireless store coming to Waxhaw

And the grand opening is the same day as this Friday's Waxhaw 5k, which will run right past the store. Assuming the store will stay open to possibly lure in both the pre & post race crowd, could this be described as "pure marketing genius"?

Found this press release before I realized I need to sew on a Cub Scout patch before I go to bed tonight (thus this is tonight's last post as I'm not a fast sewer of patches despite what numerous townsfolk may attest to).

GREENVILLE, N.C., April 26 /PRNewswire/ -- A Wireless, an Exclusive Premium Retailer for Verizon Wireless, announced today the plans for the opening of their 100th retail store on April 30, 2010 in Waxhaw, N.C.

Supposedly there will be some drawings, deals, and refreshments for those of you into grand openings or in need of a Verizon Wireless phone or accessory.
