Sprint Stores Transform Into T-Mobile Stores on August 2

Across the country, most Sprint retail stores will become T-Mobile stores on August 2, T-Mobile announced today as part of its Uncarrier event.

The announcement doesn’t go into great detail, but it sounds just as you’d expect. Where Sprint stores currently are, T-Mobile stores will replace them with new signage and paint jobs on August 2.

Here’s what was written.

On that day (August 2), T-Mobile emerges as the newly combined company’s flagship brand in retail, with most legacy Sprint stores rebranding with a fresh coat of magenta paint and fresh deals on the way.

T-Mobile committed that a combined Sprint and T-Mobile would deliver a 5G network second to none and be a supercharged Un-carrier with the ability to up-level competition and better compete on price. Execs foreshadowed new, aggressive offers to be unveiled next week … saving people money, challenging the competition and raising the bar for the industry. Buckle. Up.

Cool.

  • Both of the Sprint corporate stores that I drive by regularly have already started rebranding. I drove by one the other day and their panel on the pylon sign out front already says T-Mo . The building signage at both stores still says Sprint as of a few days ago but they had some new T-Mo graphics in the windows.

    There is an existing T-Mo corporate store about 2 miles away from the closest former Sprint store (the one with the new signage up already) that appears to be doing well so I imagine they will keep both of them going until the one with the more expense rent terms out…both stores have comparable square footage. The current Sprint one looks to have a slightly larger footprint and be in a higher-traffic area with better visibility and parking but also is probably a higher rental rate. Both stores are usually busy whenever i drive by during business hours.

  • If I lose my 50 gb free wifi Hotspot per phone every month after the switch I am leaving Sprint.

  • Where I used to live they have a Sprint Store and a T-Mobile store nearly across the street from one another. I’m guessing in those instances, the Sprint stores will be closed.

    • Actually reverse because of the logistics TMobile committed to keeping sprint employees. So they are actually closing many TMobile stores in place of sprint stores.

    • Likely. I know the Sprint Kiosk that was about 150 feet from the T-Mobile store in our Mall is gone already
