Metro PCS

Metro by T-Mobile, previously known as MetroPCS, is a major prepaid wireless provider in the United States and operates as part of T-Mobile US, Inc. The company began in Dallas, Texas in 1994, originally focusing on affordable, no-contract mobile plans that appealed to customers in urban areas. A significant turning point came in 2013, when MetroPCS merged with T-Mobile US. This merger integrated Metro’s operations with a national wireless leader, setting the stage for further growth and network improvements.

In October 2018, the brand transitioned to Metro by T-Mobile, reflecting its closer alignment with T-Mobile’s network and expanded service offerings. Over the past five years, Metro by T-Mobile has steadily increased its presence, especially in densely populated urban and suburban markets. The company’s growth has been supported by T-Mobile’s ongoing investments in 5G infrastructure, which have helped Metro attract new customers and open additional stores in areas with strong wireless demand.

As of November 2025, Metro by T-Mobile operates more than 7,000 retail locations across all 50 states. Its footprint includes both company-owned and authorized dealer stores, with a particular focus on major metropolitan regions such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Miami, and Atlanta. The brand adapts its retail formats to fit a variety of real estate settings, from standalone stores to kiosks and co-located spaces, allowing for flexibility in site selection and customer engagement.

Metro by T-Mobile’s continued expansion, national scale, and established brand reputation position it as a stable and recognizable retail tenant. The company’s ongoing growth strategy and integration with T-Mobile’s network make it a consistent presence in high-traffic retail environments, appealing to property owners and developers seeking reliable, well-known tenants. All real estate matters are managed by T-Mobile executives overseeing Metro’s operations.
