    Do not go to this store.! Not a corporate store. I tried to purchase 2 phones was quoted a whole other price for the phones on top of the taxes they charged me some 10$ fee and some other 40$ they couldn’t even explain what it was for. I contacted Verizon they told me that is incorrect I should not be charged I should only be paying for taxes on the phone. So instead of pay 120 for taxes they tried charging me 160 per phone. As well as the employee their had no clue what he was doing constantly calling the manager and help desk because he had no idea what he was doing. After waiting a month for the phone I order I am now having to wait to transfer to a corporate store. Do not go to this place if I could give it 0 stars I would

    While the staff here are incredibly nice, do be careful when going to do a trade in here! I stopped by to do a trade in (without an appointment) so I wasn't really concerned about time. There were three employees there, one of them was helping out one customer at a time, while the other two supervised. I was able to, over the course of about 2 hours, get a new phone set up fairly easily (or so I thought) at the time. As it was a trade in, which both my Verizon account and the guy helping me specified, I assumed that meant they would take the old device back (as has been the case with other times I've done a trade in). I was told I needed to take the device with me, and send it back myself, which I thought was strange, but assumed it wouldn't be an issue. I'm not sure where the miscommunication was, but somehow, this store wiped my phone I was trading in entirely from my Verizon account, to the point where numerous Verizon customer service representatives couldn't find out where the phone had gone on my account, or why the store didn't take it back. It took about a week, but Verizon was finally able to send me a return label to get the old device shipped back to apply the trade in credit. I also had issues with how they set up my eSIM, and had to have Verizon reps again help me by completely wiping my eSIM out, and putting it back on my phone. Overall, not the worst experience I've had at an authorized retailer, but be wary if you're doing a process like a trade in, as this store is NOT a true Verizon store!

    Arian is absolutely incredible. He was so patient and determined to help me sort out my phone. He worked well past store closing hours and even offered to come back on his day off. I watched him give the same amount of commitment to every customer before me as well even though it was a long line of us and he was working alone. He was knowledgeable and friendly. Definitely the best customer service ive ever had at verizon over the last 10 years.

    I want to acknowledge how patient, knowledgeable and kind hearted both Arian and Jade who works there. They really cares and put clients' best interests forward. They clearly walk extra mile and do above and beyond. Not only they assisted me getting faster internet, but also they walked me through step by step of how to save and find all the benefits. How to return old equipments etc... Besides, they have a great personality and we had so much fun chatting along while having the tasks done.

    Took over 4 hours to get my phone activated. They said I had insurance for $40 a month, I just now verified that was a lie. The payment for my trade-in was diluted and did not go towards paying my apple watch down to $100 like they said. This place is NOT A REAL VERIZON STORE. They will tell you whatever they can to sell you and get you out. It will not match with Verizon when you call to verify. As a warning to all future Verizon people, this place is a borderline scam. Do yourself a favor and go to a real Verizon store NOT a "Certified Retailer". This place will create huge payments and headaches for the entirety of your contract.
