Verizon sets up home in Circuit City

Verizon Wireless said on Monday that it will open exclusive showrooms for its products in 570 Circuit City Superstores across the United States. The wireless carrier will take care of the employees, inventory, displays and signage in these stores and will install these gradually from September through November.

Promotions offered in Verizon's standalone stores will also be available at the Circuit City outlets, the companies said. Verizon Wireless, which is a joint venture of Verizon Communications and Vodafone Group, is the largest U.S. provider of wireless service with 40 million subscribers.
