VIP Wireless Purchases AWI; Adds 700+ Locations To Boost Mobile Retail Footprint

BENSALEM, Pa., April 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- VIP Wireless, Boost Mobile's largest Master Agent, announces today its purchase of New York-based Master Agent, AWI. The purchase includes the acquisition of AWI's over 700 Boost Mobile locations.

The addition of AWI's Boost Mobile locations increases VIP's Boost Mobile retail footprint to over 3,100 stores nationwide making VIP Wireless the fastest growing Boost Master Agent in the country.

The sale comes at an exciting time for VIP. With the help of top retailers, VIP Wireless is doubling down on Boost Mobile's "4.0" store program which aims to bring together the best operators with prime locations & refreshed Boost Mobile store designs.

VIP Wireless has committed to the "4.0" program by implementing several systems to help its best retailers thrive including a real estate team to seek out new locations, negotiate leases, and support new build-outs from start to finish. VIP also supports "4.0" locations with operational support, training and marketing programs supported by a customer support team newly relocated to VIP's Bensalem, PA headquarters.

The purchase of AWI allows VIP to focus on opening new "4.0" locations with established retailers in areas where opportunity is high for Boost Mobile.

"Over the last year we have helped many retailers double and triple their business size with the help of infrastructure and support," says VIP Wireless CEO, Jack Huston. "Considering Boost Mobile's commitment to expanding the channel and elevating the brand, we saw the purchase of AWI as an obvious progression to help additional retailers grow in key regions across the country while achieving our goal of delivering quality customers and retailers to the Boost Mobile distribution channel."

By utilizing support systems already in place, VIP plans to expand to over 3,500 Boost Mobile stores by the end of 2018. VIP is already racing towards that goal, opening or renovating almost 500 Boost Mobile "4.0" locations in the past 12 months.

"We have already witnessed great success with retailers under our 4.0 programs," adds Huston. "We are confident that by providing AWI's already successful retailers with additional support and infrastructure, they too will greatly grow their Boost Mobile businesses with VIP."
