• AT&T store in Pierce County has suddenly closed. Here's what we know (thenewstribune.com) — An AT&T retailer on Bridgeport Way in University Place has abruptly closed, leaving local customers to seek service at other nearby locations in South Tacoma. The shuttered store, run by Prime Communications, had sold phones, tablets and other devices, and neighboring businesses say it went dark within the past week amid broader wireless store cutbacks in the region.
