NEW AT&T STORE IN WATERBURY FEATURES AN INNOVATIVE DESIGN


THAT MIRRORS CUSTOMERS MOBILE LIFESTYLE
New store design focuses on customer experience
WATERBURY, CONN., OCTOBER 31, 2014 AT&Ts new store design focused on the customers
mobile lifestyle is now a reality in Waterbury. The new store at Brass Mill Center at 495 Union St.
transforms the entire shopping experience. The new store concept is the result of years of exploration
and research all centered on one design goal to create a more interactive and engaging store
environment.

Customers in Waterbury will be among the first to experience the new store concept that we hope will
reinvent how customers interact with wireless technology in the store. This store is the latest example
of the investment already made in the Connecticut. AT&T invested nearly $850 million in its
Connecticut wireless and wireline networks from 2011 through 2013. This new location will serve the
growing number of consumers relying on their wireless devices to manage their busy lives.
We are committed to bringing job opportunities and new goods and services to Waterbury consumers
and this is the kind of investment that we want to celebrate as we continue to grow our local economy,
said Waterbury Mayor Neil M. OLeary. Any time we can celebrate the opening of a new store,
especially one with a cutting-edge new retail concept in Waterbury, its a great day.
Many of the new store design and merchandising elements were first seen in AT&Ts award-winning
flagship brand store on Michigan Avenue in Chicago and are now coming to other company-owned
retail stores across the country.

[Optional additional paragraph noting community support] As [city] businesses and consumers rely
more and more on mobile technology to stay in touch, announcements like this become even more
important to our economic growth. We will continue to support policies that attract this sort of
investment and advancement, said [local chamber of commerce spokesperson or civic leader]. Weve
worked hard to build a business climate in [city] that works for businesses and creates job
opportunities.
Customers visiting our Waterbury store will discover an interactive shopping experience built around
their mobile lifestyle, said John Emra, President, AT&T Connecticut. Our goal is to be Americas
premier retailer by providing an exceptional experience in every interaction, and weve been working
hard to exceed customer expectations by taking our stores and network to a new level here in
Waterbury.

Flexible Design
Everything about the store is designed for ultimate flexibility. It brings to life AT&Ts mission, brand
vision, and personality while encouraging self-discovery and satisfying curiosity.
The store layout will highlight AT&Ts products and services, devices and accessories across three
unique zones the Connected Experience Zone, the Community Zone, and the Explore Zone.
The new Connected Experience Zone features lifestyle vignettes that offer customers a glimpse of
how products can be used in customers everyday lives. These lifestyle pavilions will highlight
categories such as music, home security, entertainment and more.
Next is the Community Zone, featuring community tables that let customers shop and play in an
open and interactive space. This space has apps, accessories and devices on display to show
customers how they can work together.

Finally, customers can check out the Explore Zone with explore walls that showcase AT&Ts diverse
device line-up and accessories complemented by digital monitors with product information.

Enhanced service experience


What you wont see in these new stores is almost as important as what you will see. Customers will no
longer see the traditional retail cash-register counters. Instead, theyll find round caf-style learning
tables that allow for side-by-side interactions with the AT&T retail consultant to ask questions or learn
about a product or service. All retail consultants carry a tablet supported by a new mobile point-of-sale
system that allows them to help customers anywhere in the store.
Customers also wont see the printed product brochures common in many stores. With digital signage,
e-brochures and interactive video monitors, they can have the information literally at their finger tips
while giving AT&T the flexibility of updating messaging faster and more efficiently.
