T-Mobile

T-Mobile is a major wireless network provider in the United States, operating as a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom AG. The company began in 1994 under the name VoiceStream Wireless PCS and later adopted the T-Mobile brand after its acquisition in 2001. Over the past three decades, T-Mobile has evolved from a regional carrier into a national leader in wireless and broadband services.

A defining moment in T-Mobile’s history was its 2013 introduction of the “Un-carrier” initiative, which set the company apart by removing contracts and introducing a series of customer-focused changes. Another significant milestone came in 2020 with the merger of Sprint, which expanded T-Mobile’s network reach and customer base, strengthening its position in the market.

As of October 2025, T-Mobile operates more than 7,500 retail stores across all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia. The company maintains a strong presence in both urban and suburban areas, with particular growth in cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, and Atlanta. In recent years, T-Mobile has invested in flagship experiential stores and embraced digital-first retail strategies, aiming to create more engaging customer experiences and support its leadership in 5G and broadband services. The brand’s approach includes opening new locations, relocating stores to high-traffic areas, and enhancing its digital channels.

T-Mobile’s retail network consists entirely of company-operated stores; the brand does not franchise its locations. This consistent operating model, combined with verified real estate contacts, provides stability and reliability for landlords and developers. The company’s ongoing expansion, diverse store formats, and commitment to digital transformation make it a prominent and credible tenant in commercial real estate, especially in high-growth markets. With a leadership team focused on innovation and profitable growth, T-Mobile continues to shape the future of wireless connectivity and retail engagement.
