Cricket Wireless, a cell phone company/service, moved to Nevada, MO late last week.

“The Cricket store is independently owned by Donald Vance, Optimal Wireless LLC, Boerne, TX,” Cricket Store Manager Melissa Goff said.

The store was moved Dec. 13 Goff said, adding she found out about the move a few days before.

“The market wasn’t moving in Fort Scott,” Goff said. “It seems that Nevada has more of a growing market, a bigger market.”

The new store is located at 111 E. Austin and can be reached at 417-448-6293.

Hours: Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Sunday Noon to 5 p.m.

They have four employees: Goff, Danny Roberts and Corbin Davis all from Fort Scott, a new employee is being hired in Nevada, Goff said.
