Verizon Wireless Store to Open In Heights

Beginning next month Hasbrouck Heights will be home to a Verizon Wireless store.

The store will be located on Route 17 South near the Dunkin Donuts.  A grand opening celebration which will feature food and family activities is slated for Friday, August 19 from noon to 4 p.m. Mayor Rose Heck is expected to be in attendance.

Store owners Scott Kahn and Mardi Ekmekjian encourage customers to join Verizon Wireless in its efforts to help survivors of domestic violence by bringing no-longer-used wireless phones to the store for donation to the HopeLine® from Verizon phone recycling program.

Through the program, the company recently awarded grants that will fund: the printing of training documents that assist employers in recognizing and addressing domestic violence in the workplace; video technology that allows children to remotely and safely participate in legal proceedings away from the courtroom; the startup costs for domestic violence survivors who are establishing or expanding a small business for economic stability.
