ATLANTA, June 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Cricket Wireless announced today that GameStop now offers Cricket's wireless products and services in 3,400 U.S. locations, making GameStop Cricket's largest retail distributor. 

"We are pleased to have been Cricket's first national distribution network and now we're its largest," said Jason Cochran, senior vice president of U.S. stores at GameStop.
