Cellular Connection acquires Phones Plus retailers

The Cellular Connection, the largest Verizon Premium Wireless Retailer in the U.S., announced it has acquired the Phones Plus chain of Verizon Wireless Premium Retailers with 18 stores located across Idaho, Washington, Oregon and Alaska.

With the acquisition, Phones Plus will rebrand as TCC, and all 90 of the Verizon retailer's employees will continue serving the newly-acquired TCC stores, including those in Idaho in Coeur d'Alene, Hayden, Post Falls, Lewiston, Sandpoint and Ponderay.

"We warmly welcome these new employees and stores into the TCC family," said Scott Moorehead, president and CEO of TCC, in the company's press release. "These stores are well run and their dedicated teams share our values for serving the community and delivering superior customer service. We want to retain these teams and build on their past successes as we introduce many more customers to the TCC experience."

TCC was recently recognized by Inc. magazine as one of America's fastest-growing private companies for the fifth consecutive year. Its long-standing relationship with Verizon Wireless coupled with its buying power allows the company to make its services more accessible to customers while offering unparalleled customer service and competitive pricing.

"We have known and respected TCC for years and believe this combination is the next logical step for our business," said Chris Cheeley, former president of Phones Plus. "Joining TCC presents excellent opportunities for our employees and ensures that our customers continue to receive excellent service and high quality products."
