Downtown Silver Spring

New Verizon Store Opens in Former Restaurant and Fitness Space

A new Verizon authorized retailer has opened at 815 Ellsworth Drive in Downtown Silver Spring, taking over a space previously occupied by Be Miyghty Fitness and Roll by Goodyear. The property was also longtime home to Z Pizza, next to the former Fuddruckers location.

The neighboring Fuddruckers space had previously been expected to welcome the restaurant back to Downtown Silver Spring, but those plans were abandoned last year. The new Verizon location is operated by BeMobile, an authorized Verizon retailer. Unlike Verizon’s company-operated stores, authorized retailers are independently operated businesses that sell Verizon products and services.

Verizon stores generally offer smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, accessories, wireless plans, device upgrades, and assistance with activating new lines or transferring service. Available products and services can vary by location.

The store is part of BeMobile, a North Dakota-based company founded in 2000 that operates more than 120 Verizon authorized retail locations across multiple states, including Maryland and Virginia. BeMobile sells Verizon wireless plans, smartphones from manufacturers such as Apple, Samsung, Google, and Motorola, along with accessories and home internet services. The retailer also assists customers with phone upgrades, new lines, and selecting wireless plans for individuals, families, and businesses.

According to BeMobile, the Silver Spring store is open Monday through Friday from 10am to 8pm, Saturday from 10am to 7pm, and Sunday from 11am to 5pm. Source of the Spring reported in June that the store was coming to Downtown Silver Spring.
