It’s the fifth Wireless Zone store owned by franchisee Debbie Peterson, who said her store is a good fit for downtown Ann Arbor, in part because it gives downtown workers a chance to buy phones without having to travel outside the area.
“This is a wonderful, vibrant downtown community, and we have a wonderfully vibrant device,†she said. “We just think it’s the right thing to do for people who are already parked down here. I just thought it would be a good fit.â€
The next step, she said, is upgrading the Wireless Zone sign that hangs over the sidewalk. She wants to get rid of the paint that’s peeling and “make it look articulate.†She initially wanted to be lit but found out that’s not possible due to Historic District regulations.
