January 10, 2018 – Comcast announced today plans to open an XFINITY Store in Gurnee, IL, at 6440 Grand Ave., at the intersection of Grand Avenue and Hunt Club Road. The 4,500-square-foot store, which is slated to open this summer, will give visitors hands-on experience with XFINITY’s range of products and services, from cable TV, high-speed Internet and the company’s new mobile phone service, XFINITY Mobile, to its home security and home automation platform, XFINITY Home.
The store also will feature iPads and other mobile devices visitors can use to explore XFINITY’s Android and iOS apps. Apps range from: XFINITY Stream, which allows customers to watch live TV anywhere at home over WiFi, watch up to 200 live channels outside their homes, stream up to 40,000 On Demand choices on-the-go and download movies and TV shows; and XFINITY WiFi, which allows customers to search for locations of the network’s more than 18 million hotspots across the country and more than 1.6 million in the region; to xFi, which allows high-speed Internet customers to personalize and control their home networks.
“The stores are awesome places to visit and learn more about our products and services from trained professionals,” said John Crowley, Comcast’s Greater Chicago Region senior vice president. “Visitors can settle into couches in the store and experience our products and services the way they would in their own living rooms.”
“Gurnee is one of Lake County’s busiest and most dynamic retail corridors,” said Kristina Kovarik, Mayor, Village of Gurnee. “XFINITY will be joining hundreds of outstanding restaurants and retailers on the Grand Avenue Shopping & Entertainment Corridor. We’re excited to welcome this new retail and service concept, in a convenient location for Gurnee residents and visitors.”
