Due to an expiration of the contract with the national company, the Douglas´ Sprint Store closed its doors April 2.

McGrew also informed that he and current staff are working to open their own phone-services store this month at the Food City Plaza.

“We will be open probably by April 9 and we will offer pre-paid phones from Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile,” McGrew said. “We want to keep providing a high-quality service to the community and we will make our best effort to do so.”
