“We are delighted to  work with AMERICAN IDOL and HTC to offer our customers a unique way to watch AMERICAN IDOL while learning how they can make the most of today’s technology,” said AT&T Illinois vice president and general manager Dave Fine.

The retail Innovation Center is one more dimension of the AT&T Retail Promise – a commitment to ensure that customers have the very best in-store shopping experience. Customers not only will find products best suited for their needs, but also become informed on how best to use them — and their feedback will directly influence the retail design, as well as the products and services offered in AT&T stores nationwide.

Located at 585 East Palatine Road, the store hours are Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.,  Saturday, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Store Manager Dennis Foster and his knowledgeable sales consultants are ready to assist customers—both businesses and consumers—with purchasing decisions and technical support.
