2degrees opens first retail store

Chief Sales Officer, Mark Cleary, says the firm has spent a long time ensuring that 2degrees’ first retail store was “just right for customers to come and meet 2degrees face-to-face for the first time”.

The first store opens tomorrow morning at Sylvia Park in Mt Wellington.

“From word go, we’ve made it free and easy for customers to contact us at any time of the day or night, through our call centre. However, with the rapid growth in customer numbers and the continual release of new products and services, it’s key for 2degrees to make a commitment to a complete retail presence,” says Cleary.

The store was modelled on the “traditional Kiwi backyard, customers step on the welcome mat when they enter the store and are greeted with signs of home; the traditional white-wash weatherboard wall, the wooden deck and garden fence.”

Stores in Newmarket and the Wellington CBD will be opened the following week, with more promised over the next 12 months.

It’s though the new retail push will create in the region of over 200 new jobs.
