Special to the Journal

 

PERRY,

Ga. – Windstream, the local voice, broadband and digital TV provider for the Perry

area, is closing its retail store here effective Feb. 28, 2013.  The closing does not affect services

the company provides to local residential and business customers.

 

Windstream

is closing the store at 2031 Highway 41 South as part of a restructuring plan

for its retail operations as more and more customers are utilizing alternative

methods to make payments, shop for products and speak with representatives.

 

“As

consumers continue to migrate more of their research and shopping behavior to

online platforms, Windstream will continue to adjust its approach to

accommodate their preferences,” said David Redmond, senior vice president of

consumer services for Windstream. “Windstream remains focused on meeting the needs of our customers

in the communities we serve and offers a variety of options for customers to

connect with us.”
