Feb. 23, 2018 – Comcast today announced plans to open an XFINITY Store in Berwyn at 7040 Cermak Rd. in the Gateway Plaza shopping center located at Harlem Avenue and Cermak 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 our trained store staff,” said John Crowley, Comcast’s Greater Chicago Region senior vice president. “Visitors are welcome to settle into one of the couches in the store and experience our products and services like they would at home.”
“Berwyn is a dynamic retail hub,” said Berwyn Mayor Robert Lovero. “The new XFINITY Store will join a host of restaurants and other retailers at Gateway Plaza, which is a short drive for thousands and thousands of XFINITY customers.”
Along with product and service demos, customers will be able to pay bills, pick up and return equipment and get assistance from trained, knowledgeable sales and service consultants.
The XFINITY Store will have around 15 full- and part-time employees. Store hours will be Mondays through Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sundays from 12 to 5 p.m.
