Verizon’s General Manager Frank DiBetta is settling in Chicago from New Jersey to open up the new and exciting Verizon Destination Store and we were just there this morning for a media sneak peek of their new place before they officially open tomorrow. The store front is still covered up with red curtains but I can almost imagine how the huge monitor behind it will sure to welcome and entice customers in. The 10,000 square-feet of shopping (Escada’s old space) is now the new home to Verizon’s largest store in the country offering the latest in wireless devices and accessories.

“The store design is an experiential retail destination and features unique lifestyle zones where customers can experience products that enhance mobile lifestyles.

Some not-to-miss:
  •  The hands-on store experience also comes with a Charge-In Concierge! All customers can check-in their mobile phones to get plugged-in safely and tucked away so customers can shop without worry.
  • You can also make your own customized mobile phone case and print your favorite shots. You don’t have a picture on your mobile that you like? No worries! They even have a greenroom for you to take your shots in. Your customized cases are available in 45 minutes.
  • A space to try out some drones! Yes!

Store layout:
