The Cellular Connection Achieves Record Quarterly New Store Growth

Sales growth of more than 120 percent over the past three years also landed The Cellular Connection on the 2010 Inc. 5000, Inc. magazine's prestigious list of America's fastest-growing private companies.

"Without a doubt, this has been our most momentous quarter to date," said Scott Moorehead, president and CEO of The Cellular Connection. "In an economy where retailers across all industries are struggling to survive, The Cellular Connection is thriving and we see no signs of slowing down."

The company's meteoric growth is largely attributed to a partnership with hhgregg Inc. (NYSE: HGG) that is enabling The Cellular Connection to open Verizon Wireless kiosks in every hhgregg store across the country. The kiosks serve as full-service Verizon stores offering customers the latest Verizon Wireless smartphones, cell phones and accessories. Customers have the ability to pay their Verizon bill, obtain Verizon service, upgrade or change their plan and change and update their account information, just like any other Verizon store.

"It's a great thing to be able to enhance customer service in the cell phone industry while also generating more opportunities for employment," said Moorehead. "We look forward to ending 2010 with another huge quarter."
