Helio is announcing their first five Helio stores, beginning with the opening of the flagship location on the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, California in early October. Additional stores will open between October ‘06 into early ‘07 in cities including New York, Denver, San Diego and Palo Alto. Helio will also be opening additional stores throughout ‘07 in major markets. All Helio stores will be in hand-picked locations that are destinations for their community. Helio claims they won’t be found in a run down strip-mall or generic office complex. Their locations, like the store environments, will be Helio-centric, fun, cool spots.

“Helio stores are a place where young people that are passionate about staying connected (like us) can go to fully experience Helio. They are gathering places for the Helio community where they can experiment with services and devices, explore content, get assistance, become Helio members or just hang with friends. Helio stores will be fresh, clean and simple and all about our young community, giving them a place to call their own.”

Helio is growing at an exceptional pace with membership numbers going up by the day, by the hour and even minute (they continue to set sales records each week). Their overall number of retail doors will reach 2,000 this month and over 3,000 retail doors by the end of the year - far and away above any other MVNO (?) and illustrating the positive response we’ve received in just three short months.
