Verizon Wireless signed an agreement to create a Verizon Wireless

?Verizon Wireless will operate the Verizon Wireless stores and be
responsible for the employees, wireless and wireless-related
inventory, displays and signage.?
?Circuit City shoppers will have access to the same features they
would find in Verizon Wireless Communications stores, including
account look up, bill pay and other benefits previously only available
at Verizon Wireless Communications stores.?
