DETROIT
(Tell Us
Det) -
On
Wednesday
April
20,
2016,
the
midtown
Detroit
neighborhood
welcomed
in yet
another
high
profile
company
which
will
have a
retail
and
business
center
along
Woodward
Ave. And
just a
few
steps
from the
M-1
RAIL.
Detroit
XFINITY
opened
its new
location
at 3907
Woodward
in
February
but
inclement
weather
caused
the
company
from
holding
the VIP
celebration
and
ribbon
cutting.
The
company
expects
to
create
at least
six new
jobs in
the city
and the
store
will
cover
1,770
square
feet of
retail
space.
“We’re
very
encouraged
by the
pace of
growth
and
expectations
for
future
growth
in
downtown
and
Midtown,”
said Tim
Collins,
senior
vice
president
of
Comcast
in
Michigan.
“This
location
is right
along
the M-1
RAIL,
providing
many of
our
customers
easy
access
to get
to us.
Our
company
has deep
roots
throughout
the city
of
Detroit
that go
back
several
decades.
We were
here
during
the
tough
times
and are
thrilled
to be
part of
the
ongoing
resurgence
of
Detroit’s
economy.”
At the
store
you’ll
be able
to
explore,
learn,
and talk
with
XFINITY
experts
and
interact
directly
with the
latest
XFINITY
products
and
services.
The
store
will
also
provide
iPads
for
visitors
to demo
Xfinity’s
mobile
apps
that let
customers
watch
live TV,
stream
On
Demand
content,
download
movies
and TV
shows,
and
manage
and
monitor
their
homes
while on
the go.
“The
technology
in our
homes is
much
more
complex
than
ever
before,”
says
Jason
Gumbs,
Comcast’s
Heartland
Region
vice
president
of
marketing.
“We
design
our new
stores
to make
it easy
for
customers
to learn
in an
engaging,
hands-on
way
about
the many
capabilities
of the
products
and
services
we offer
that
they
rely on
every
day.”
Along
with
product
and
service
demos,
customers
will be
able to
pay
bills,
pick up
and
return
equipment
and get
assistance
from
trained,
knowledgeable
sales
consultants.
The
Woodward
store
will be
the
fifth of
its kind
in
Michigan.
