U.S. Cellular To Change Ownership May 1

WAYNE – The community joined U.S. Cellular/Cellcom for Friday morning Chamber Coffee from their 214 Main Street location in downtown Wayne.

The store is open Monday – Friday from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. as well as Saturday from 9:30 a.m. until 3 p.m.

A change for the Wayne location is that it will be under new ownership as of May 1. Matt Sandoz is a U.S. Cellular Authorized Agent, who already has stores in Valentine, O’Neill, Broken Bow, Columbus and now Wayne. Sandoz first opened the Valentine store in 1999.

Still to be done is needing to talk with the landlord and work with current owner of the Wayne U.S. Cellular, Robin Pearson.

“Getting utilities , we’re going to need to get those switched over,” said Sandoz. “Getting some new computers put in there, some office equipment, also getting internet switched over and a few people hired.”

Sandoz and his District Manager, Mandi McIntire will be around Wayne early on making sure the store is ran like the other locations.

Along with the special for those switching can receive up to $300 off a new select smartphone and an inventory sale that is 20% off for most of the items, U.S. Cellular in Wayne is new in the market for high-speed internet. Earlier this year the store was in a test-market.

Store Manager Jeana Robinette said it has really taken off for those streaming Netflix, gaming and there are two different types of packaging for in-town and rural.

“Especially if you’re out in a rural area where maybe one of the phone companies doesn’t go this will go,” Robinette added. “So it’s actually designed for the rural areas.”

Contact U.S. Cellular/Cellcom at 402-833-5065 for more information as Sandoz is looking forward to meeting new people and working with current/new customers.

“I’ve been to Wayne a few times, but actually was able to get up there the last couple weeks,” Sandoz mentioned. “What a great town, so we’re just excited about getting up there and saying hello and being a part of the community.”

Robinette was also awarded the Congeniality award Friday morning.
