THE Bahamas Telecommunications Company (BTC) has invested $40,000 into the transformation of its High Rock retail store in Grand Bahama, the third of 50 openings planned for this year. The overhaul of the 160-square feet store employed six Bahamian construction workers during a two-week period, and has one full-time retail specialist to keep the High Rock and East Grand Bahama communities connected. The multi-service retail experience now offers Internet and land-line packages, and BTC's latest cellular products and services. In keeping with BTC's commitment to Bahamian culture, the store's design incorporates themes and colour schemes that reflect Bahamian identity. "The new concept fits the BTC vision of offering better choices for its customers. Now, people of east Grand Bahama can do much more than pay a bill and can access all the latest telecommunications technology in their own community," said Marlon Johnson, BTC's vice-president for brand communication. The next scheduled BTC store openings are slated for March in Exuma and Abaco.
