Opening your own wireless store is more than a business move — it’s the start of a journey toward independence, growth, and lasting success. At Summit Wireless, California’s Master Agent for Total Wireless, we’ve helped countless entrepreneurs turn their vision into thriving retail locations. Here’s exactly how you can do it too.
Step 1: Discover the Opportunity
Before anything else, you need to know what makes the Total Wireless dealer program special. As an exclusive dealer, you’re backed by Verizon’s network, a nationally trusted brand, and Summit’s full support system. This means you’re never going it alone — you’ll have proven strategies, resources, and a team committed to your success.
Step 3: Apply and Get Approved
The application process is simple. You’ll complete a dealer inquiry, provide financial and background information, and meet with our team to ensure it’s the right fit. Once approved, we move quickly to the next steps.
Step 4: Secure Your Location
Location is everything. We’ll help you identify the right market, review potential spots, and ensure your lease meets all requirements. Once the site is approved, we move into store buildout and branding to Total Wireless standards.
Step 5: Build, Stock & Launch
With your store location locked in, renovations begin. We’ll assist with inventory ordering, merchandising, and preparing your store for launch. Our marketing team will help you create a grand opening plan that gets your community talking and customers walking in the door.
