EDINA, Minn. (BUSINESS WIRE), July 21, 2016 –

Sprint (NYSE: S) today announced the establishment of its Great Plains

Region headquarters in Edina, Minnesota. The Great Plains Region

geographic area covers Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, and

South Dakota. It includes more than 100 company-owned or Sprint-branded

retail stores.

The new ONE Sprint organizational change announced earlier this year

divided operations into 18 regions across the country. Each region is

responsible for local sales, marketing, network performance, customer

experience, and community engagement. “Bringing in local leadership

allows us to be more responsive to our customers and connected to their

experiences,” explained Michael McMahon, President of the new Great

Plains Region. The new headquarters at 7700 S. France Ave. in Edina, MN

is home to the region’s Retail, Indirect, Business Sales, Marketing, and

Operations teams.

The creation of the new headquarters comes amid recent independent

network studies showing Sprint shares first place rank in call

performance and network reliability in the Twin Cities and Omaha.

Analysis of independent third-party data also shows Sprint’s delivery of

average download data speeds ahead of the other major carriers in the

market. “More customers are flocking to Sprint to take advantage of our

LTEPlus network download speeds and our 50% off competitor rate plans

promotion1. We’re committed to provide a great in-store

experience, as well,” McMahon said. He also shared that Sprint is in the

midst of expanding its distribution, and plans to add more than 200 jobs

at branded stores in the region over the next year.
