Wireless Zone® Executive Vice President Dave Staszewski shares the exciting opportunity that comes with signing onto the nation's largest wireless retail franchise.
What about Wireless Zone® makes it unique within its industry?
As a Verizon Authorized Retailer, Wireless Zone® provides small business owners with the consumer confidence in a respected name for instant brand recognition. The franchise business model brings a level of support to our owners: proven expertise, a track record of growth and personalized assistance to rectify critical issues should they arise.
Why is Wireless Zone® a good investment opportunity?
Look around you! Nearly everyone today owns a cell phone of some type, whether it’s a basic flip phone or a sophisticated connected device. Ten years ago we had clunky car phones and book-sized mobile phones. We also had Rolodexes, cameras, calendars, notepads, maps and answering machines. Today it all fits in the palm of your hand; it goes beyond a smart phone to being your own personal device.
What plans does the brand have in the coming years?
We envision Wireless Zone® will continue to grow as the franchise model continues to provide benefits and opportunities to small business owners, and as society seeks to develop and connect within local communities. Verizon leads the way in the next generation of connected technology, with distinct plans to bring 5G network connectivity to markets across the US both in-home and in-hand.
What does an ideal franchisee look like?
We have over 100 unique franchisees, and no two are the same. Some own multiple locations across several states; some own two or three in their home-town, and others own just one. They have some traits in common, such as a willingness to own a small business, to give back to their community, to be successful and to love technology. We provide all new franchisees with extensive training and support, and continually communicate with them to ensure success.
