Boost Mobile opened its first exclusive retail store in Philadelphia on Friday, with all the pageantry of city police middle management and Eagles defensive tackle Mike “PhatPat” Patterson.
- 5612 Broad Street
- Broad and Olney
- Logan, North Philadelphia
- (267) 331-5301
The opening came a day after a deadline Boost imposed on itself to correct lingering problems with a delay in its text messaging delivery.
The delays were blamed on the company’s more than three quarters of a million new prepaid customers in the quarter, which beat analyst expectations, according to Sprint’s first quarter financial results.
Boost has led an advertising blitz on the city.
