Two New Stores Open in Canonsburg

Canonsburg is welcoming two new stores to its downtown and Canonsburg Plaza locations. Guntown Boards is located at 121 W. Pike St. and a new Verizon Wireless The Cellular Connection is at 113 Cavasina Dr., behind Starbucks.

Guntown Boards is a skateboard shop that sells everything to do with boards and boarding including T-shirts, backpacks and more. They are a Shorty’s authorized dealer but carry all brands of boards and equipment. Co-owner Anthony Covey has been skating for 15 years and his stepfather, George Bosco, is a local resident.

“There’s really nowhere around here that sells skateboard equipment and it’s becoming very popular so we decided to give it a shot,” said Covey.  The store's grand opening was May 5.

Now through May 25, Guntown Boards is running a logo contest where they are accepting logo designs for their store. The winning entry will receive a free board. 

Covey also said that they will have monthly interactive events with giveaways that will be promoted on their Facebook page.

Store hours are Monday through Friday, from 3 to 8:30 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.  They may expand hours in the summer. The store phone number is 724-485-2792.

Verizon Wireless The Cellular Connection has been open since May 2 and will be participating in the Hot Diggity Dog Days Downtown Festival to help get the word out. They offer a large variety of cell phones with the ability to upgrade, change plans and more.

While they are an indirect Verizon location, customers can do everything that they can at a direct location except see detailed billing. The relaxed atmosphere and personalized service will more than make up for it and they offer an large selection of equipment and insurance plans to meet the needs of a wide variety of customers.

Store hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Sunday, 12 to 5 p.m. The store will be offering free classes on phone use as sales pick up and will take appointments for upgrades or instruction now. The store phone number is 724-771-0847.

Verizon Wireless is also looking for part-time help from the local area. Interested parties should apply directly at the store.
