“We’re thrilled to offer Sikeston residents access to our wide array of wireless and wireline products and services here,” said Nancy Garvey, vice president and general manager, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets in the Greater Midwest. “We’re inviting customers to visit this location and test out our newest line-up of quick messaging devices, smartphones, AT&T’s Advanced TV services and much more to see our cutting-edge offerings firsthand.”
“The AT&T Experience Store is part of a greater company initiative to integrate products and services, while giving consumers greater convenience and a streamlined approach to the way they interact with and purchase our products,” said John Sondag, AT&T Missouri president. “The new opening also creates more interest and demand in the technologies fueling today’s communications and entertainment services.”
“Missouri’s business friendly policies, combined with Sikeston’s talented work force provide the ideal conditions for continued growth in our region,” said Ed Dust, executive director of economic development for the City of Sikeston. “Private sector investment is the engine that drives economic growth and the long term financial impact of this new store is a good sign that the economy is improving.”
“Attracting jobs to Missouri should be our highest priority and I will continue to work tirelessly to reform current regulations that impose heavy costs on employers and prevent new job opportunities,” said Senator Jason Crowell. “The investment that companies are making in Sikeston will have a positive impact on the community and will help move our state forward.”
