How do you like the look of Public Mobile stores?

By on February 19, 2010 at 11:26am in Mobile News, Public Mobile, Various News

New Canadian wireless carrier Public Mobile is getting ready to launch their service by “mid-2010″ in both Ontario and Quebec. The only device that they’ve made public is the ZTE C78, but we hear they’ll release Motorola and Nokia devices also. Since branding is so important these days and although Public states that “what you say on your phone is more important than what your phone says about you”… they have giving an insight into what their stores will look like. The picture below was most likely taken from their Toronto flagship store that’s located on 2575 Danforth Avenue. You like:

  1. Why in the world did they put a flagship store in the middle of nowhere? No easy access from any major road.

    Sure it’s on the subway but…?

  3. I think the store design is consistent with the image of a no-frills mobile carrier. The use of the word “public” in the brand name and the colour orange is non-polarizing. The simplicity and relatively ‘cheap’ furnishing of the store aligns well with the brand, but lacks innovation and relies heavily on colour.

  6. Nice. But being in Newfoundland (or hell, the Atlantic provinces) – we’ll probably never see them.

    “what you say on your phone is more important than what your phone says about you”…

    And what the hell is that supposed to mean?

  9. Yeah branding with the same colours as an already (albeit barely) exsisting discount carrier? Good luck with that.

  10. @Dave Pyke – its an indication of their key demographic..

    it isn’t an accident..

    No offense to anyone in the area, but……..no credit, payday loans, wal-marts, low income area….yeah..its pretty obvious.

  11. I don’t understand how public thinks they are relevant at $40 a month when that doesn’t include any long distance.

    $25 unlimited local + text
    $35 unlimited canada wide + text

    That would put them on the map.

  13. Lol lets tease people with what our store looks like, that will surely get us sales. Yeah I’m being cynical, but what we wanted was competition not a sneak peak at the new decor. WTB phones and rates Plox.

  15. They are using the same colours as Solo, what were they thinking?

    Frankly it looks a little cheap, but that does not bother me too much: if it keeps prices low.

    The orange is blinding, I would have gone with an all black/grey look with orange accents.

    While Main St Station is not the “boonies” it is a horrible location.

    It’s not an area for “shopping”,

    With all that investment I would think they could at least afford a kiosk in the eaton centre, that would be better than this….
