A vacant downtown Auburn building is now home to a new cellphone provider — metroPCS.
The store, located at 11 E. Genesee St., opened Monday, owner Mickey Khatib said. The retail space was previously occupied by a photography studio and a Christmas pop-up shop.
MetroPCS was founded in 1994. In 2013, it merged with T-Mobile. The company offers nationwide talk, text and data plans with no contracts. Both metroPCS and T-Mobile won the J. D. Power award for customer care in 2018 in their respective categories.
