T-Mobile announced last week plans to build hundreds of new retail stores in small towns all across America over the next two years. The carrier said these new stores will create 5,000 direct new jobs, plus thousands more in construction and services to build and maintain them.
“At T-Mobile, our commitment to small town America is about more than infrastructure. It’s about a long-term commitment to support the people and local businesses who help rural communities thrive and grow,” said T-Mobile EVP Jon Freier. “We have one goal here: to be your hometown network. That starts with a great 5G network and continues with sustained investments in local communities through T-Mobile Hometown, so the towns so many of us love aren’t left behind in this next wireless generation.”
In areas where T-Mobile can’t place retail stores, the carrier said it will implement “Hometown Experts,” described as an official T-Mobile representative in a community, but without a brick and mortar office. During the next two years, T-Mobile plans to hire 2,500 Hometown Experts in 2,500 small towns. The search for Hometown Experts is already underway — the first 1,000 new Hometown Expert job listings have already been posted.

In keeping with the small town theme, T-Mobile announced a new program called Hometown Grants. Through Hometown Grants, T-Mobile will contribute $25 million during the next five years to help fund community development projects in rural areas across the country to jumpstart stalled projects and get new ones off the ground.
