Cricket Wireless is coming to Taylorville. The cell phone company has opened its first Taylorville location at 1528 West Springfield Road near Walmart.

Clint Hargrave is an Indirect Sales Executive for Cricket Wireless. He says a number of factors brought Cricket to Taylorville, with the biggest being the demand for their service in the area.

Hargrave says there are multiple benefits that Cricket provides that the competition does not.

The Taylorville location will have a grand opening on Saturday, where they will have great specials and fun for the whole family. Hargrave invites everyone to come by and check out their newest location on Saturday.
