The 9 stores have been launched in Kamareddy, Armor, Kazipet, Guntakal, Yemiganur, Hindupur, Sircilla, Sidhipet and Jagtiyal districts of the state. The outlets have been designed using an interesting retail format which aims to provide an all round brand experience about Uninor’s offers and services for its customers. Customers can walk into these stores and avail anything from a Sim Card, Recharge coupon, Handsets/Accessories to Sim replacements, Caller tune activations and much more – making these stores a one stop telecom solution store for customers residing in small and midsized towns of AP.
These Uninor Franchisee Express outlets will be compact sized with an area of 60 to 100 sq ft.
Speaking on the launch of these special outlets, Mr. Satish Kumar Kannan, Business Head – AP Circle, Uninor said, “The idea of launching these compact Uninor retail stores is to reach out to customers across large and small towns of the state. We want to provide the same level of brand experience and customer service to our customers, their location notwithstanding. The Franchisee Express outlets are a part of our philosophy that we need to come closer to our customers, so that whenever a customer needs our services, we are able to address it effectively and efficiently in the least possible time. For us, it’s always been People First.”
Uninor, which launched its services in Andhra Pradesh a little over a year ago has established its presence across 23 districts, 500 towns and over 1500 villages in the state. Servicing the vast geography through 8 Company owned outlets, 32 Franchisee owned outlets, 9 Franchisee express outlets and with presence in over 360 Modern Trade outlets – Uninor has plans of expanding Uninor Franchise Express outlets across many more smaller towns in the next few months.
