T-Mobile at Art Place at Fort Totten Closed

Posted by nextstoprp in Cafritz Art Place at Fort Totten

A neighbor called me this morning to let me know that the signage for the T-Mobile located at 5210 South Dakota Avenue NE was being taken down and that fixtures were being moved out. The store opened in 2019. I have received confirmation that T-Mobile has closed that location. (Cannot say I am surprised by this news).

While awaiting confirmation, I came across a January 2023 press statement from T-Mobile about its retail strategy and the place of brick and mortar stores in that strategy. The company is closing many stores.

No word on a replacement yet.
