Why the Wireless Industry?
The U.S. wireless marketplace has exploded exponentially over the last decade - and will continue to in the foreseeable future. Today, cell phones are used for far more than making calls. Usage of data is skyrocketing, and so is opportunity. Despite an uncertain economy, people are continuing to show the tremendous value they place on their wireless devices. That makes now the ideal time to get started with your wireless franchise.
Why Verizon Wireless?
Customers know Verizon Wireless as the nation's most reliable and largest wireless voice and data network. It's the brand name in the industry and being associated with the company gives your store enormous name recognition with potential customers. A leader in wireless voice and data services, Verizon Wireless has built the nation's first wide-area wireless broadband network and has the highest customer loyalty in the industry based on lowest-in-industry churn.

Why Wireless Zone?
Unlike multi-carrier wireless franchises, Wireless Zone has an exclusive relationship with Verizon Wireless. This allows franchisees to carry only one set of merchandise instead of multiple versions, enjoy preferred treatment and pricing, and cash in on residuals. What's more, Wireless Zone pairs this strong brand association with outstanding store planning, merchandising, advertising, field support and training. We give you the support you need to launch your company, and the resources that help you to thrive.
