And the Victorville Daily Press reported that a new shopping
center going up in the southwest corner of Victorville will have
a Sprint Store! There's a couple hundred thousand people living in
this area, and right now the closest Sprint company stores are in
Redlands and Rancho Cucamonga, both at least 25 minutes away.

Yeah, there were owned by Horizon... Now, every one of the our stores
around here are closed. We have no face to face customer support now.
