NASHVILLE TN – Retail Expertise, LLC and T-Mobile will host its OFFICIAL GRAND OPENING weekend May 18th-23^rd at the Hermitage TN location on Old Hickory Boulevard. The event will begin with the DONELSON HERMITAGE Chamber of Commerce RIBBON CUTTING ceremony on THURSDAY MAY 19th at 4:30 pm.

Along with the many prizes, the main drawing give-away will be a free T-Mobile Sidekick, a $379 value.

The Hermitage T-Mobile location is locally owned and operated by RETAIL-EXPERTISE LLC. President LOU PROVOST has recently expanded his retail consulting firm to partner with the award-winning wireless provider T-MOBILE USA. The Hermitage store location is the second store in a multi-store venture and opened their doors to the public late last year. “With a recent systems enhancement we have undertaken and the announcement of the Truly Unlimited plan, it’s a perfect time to kickoff and celebrate our official Grand Opening” says Provost.

For a limited time, T-Mobile customers get Truly Unlimited access to America’s Largest 4G Network with unlimited data¹, talk and text for only $79.99 per month with a two year contract or renewal. This gives customers a savings of more than $350 a year on an unlimited smartphone plan versus comparable plans from AT&T, Verizon and Sprint².

“Consumers today are looking for even more value and flexibility from their wireless plans, “said John Clelland, senior vice president, marketing, T-Mobile USA. “While data plans for many of our competitors continue to be very expensive, T-Mobile is lowering the price of our unlimited plans and offering more options, making it easier than ever for customers to step up to a richer mobile data experience on our 4G network.”

I did extensive research before choosing T-Mobile as the company I wanted to represent. T-Mobile works for the customer-always! So will we! T-Mobile is a focused company that prides itself on their award-winning customer service and unmatched value to the consumer. I am proud and excited to be representing T-Mobile in this venture.”
