Clackamas County Commissioner Martha Schrader, Happy Valley Mayor Lori DeRemer and Oregon State Representative Jeff Reardon Joined AT&T Today for $25,000 Donation to Northwest Family Services as a Part of Store Grand Opening
HAPPY VALLEY, Ore., Oct. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T's* new store design focused on the customers' mobile lifestyle is now a reality in the Portland area. The new store at the Clackamas Town Center transforms the entire shopping experience. The first of its kind in the Pacific Northwest, AT&T's new store concept is the result of more than two years of exploration and research all centered on one design goal - to create a more interactive and inviting store environment.

Clackamas County Commissioner Martha Schrader, Happy Valley Mayor Lori DeRemer and State Representative Jeff Reardon were among the first to experience the new store concept at a grand opening celebration today, which included a $25,000 donation to Oregon's Northwest Family Services.
"This Clackamas Town Center store is another example of AT&T's strong commitment to invest in the greater Portland area," said Mike Maxwell, Vice President, AT&T. "AT&T and its employees have contributed more than $1.1 million to giving programs in Oregon during the past five years, and as a part of today's store opening we are giving back through a $25,000 donation to Northwest Family Services."
Many of the new store design and merchandising elements were first seen in AT&T's award-winning flagship brand store on Michigan Avenue in Chicago and are now coming to other company-owned retail stores.
"We are committed to bringing job opportunities and new goods and services to Oregon consumers and this is the kind of investment that we want to celebrate as we continue to grow our local economy," said Reardon. "Any time we can celebrate the opening of a new store, especially one with a cutting-edge new retail concept in Oregon, it's a great day."
"As Clackamas County businesses and consumers rely more and more on mobile technology to stay in touch, announcements like this become even more important to our economic growth. We will continue to support policies that attract this sort of investment and advancement," said Clackamas County Commissioner Martha Schrader. "We've worked hard to build a business climate in Clackamas County that works for businesses and creates job opportunities."
Flexible Design
Everything about the store is designed for ultimate flexibility. It brings to life AT&T's mission, brand vision, and personality while encouraging self-discovery and satisfying curiosity. The store layout will highlight AT&T's products and services, devices and accessories across three unique "zones" - the Connected Experience Zone, the Community Zone, and the Explore Zone.
-- The new Connected Experience Zone features "lifestyle vignettes" that
offer customers a glimpse of how products can be used in customers'
everyday lives. These lifestyle pavilions will highlight categories such
as music, home security, entertainment and more.
-- Next is the Community Zone, featuring "community tables" that let
customers shop and play in an open and interactive space. This space
has apps, accessories and devices on display to show customers how they
can work together.
-- Finally, customers can check out the Explore Zone with "explore walls"
that showcase AT&T's diverse device line-up and accessories complemented
by digital monitors with product information.
"Customers visiting our Clackamas Town Center store will discover an interactive shopping experience built around their mobile lifestyle," added Maxwell. "Our goal is to be America's premier retailer by providing an exceptional experience in every interaction, and we've been working hard to exceed customer expectations by taking our stores and network to a new level here in Oregon."
Enhanced service experience
What you won't see in these new stores is almost as important as what you will see. Customers will no longer see the traditional retail "cash-register" counters. Instead, they'll find round cafe-style "learning tables" that allow for side-by-side interactions with the AT&T retail consultant to ask questions or learn about a product or service. All retail consultants carry a tablet supported by a new mobile point-of-sale system that allows them to help customers anywhere in the store.
Customers also won't see the printed product brochures common in many stores. With digital signage, e-brochures and interactive video monitors, they can have the information literally at their finger tips while giving AT&T the flexibility of updating messaging faster and more efficiently.
Store information
Hours for the new AT&T Clackamas Town Center store are Monday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and Sunday, 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. AT&T has more than 65 retail locations in Oregon.
