Verizon Wireless (Bedminster, N.J.) has announced a deal with BJ’s Wholesale Clubs Inc. (Natick, Mass.) to install Verizon shops in more than 128 BJ’s locations.

The shops will sell phones, devices and accessories, plus a variety of service plans and the ability to look up accounts and pay bills.

Verizon will be responsible for the operation and maintenance of the kiosks, including hiring, inventory, displays and any interior or exterior signage.

“This relationship is important to [our] effort to meet our customers where they shop,” said John Colaiuti, Verizon Wireless, vp, national distribution. “The customers walking into BJ’s are the same people who want Verizon Wireless service. They place a premium on quality, service and value. By placing Verizon Wireless employees in the BJ’s locations, customers also get added convenience and assistance from the best wireless sales people in the industry.”
