In an effort to compete with Apple, Verizon Wireless will open “smart stores” across the country and one of the first will be in Tampa.
The shops are intended to show customers how they can use Verizon technology to enhance their lives. According to the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, the stores will include “Lifestyle Zones,” where specialists can show customers how to use wireless gadgets, apps and other gear. Specific zones will focus on sports and fitness; music; video games; home security and energy management; and business.
