Comcast is currently one of the leading satellite, internet and cable providers in the nation, and Ronnie Colvin is a senior director of external affairs for Comcast.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ronnie Colvin recently visited Tupelo to celebrate the opening of their latest Comcast\u2019s Xfinity retail store. Ronnie has been working with Comcast Corporation for the last 33 years and his daughters are also working in the same company. \u201cComcast has been in Tupelo since June 28, 1963 and we\u2019re in our third generation of working with them. And we opened this new retail center on June 28 of this year, exactly 53 years after the company was founded,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Xfinity is the \u201ctriple-play service\u201d from the provider, which offers cable internet, cable phone, and digital cable services to the subscribers. The latest Xfinity retail center is approximately 5,000-square-foot and it will replace the old customer service. The Xfinity story is located at the Barnes Crossing Plaza and is anchored by T.J. Maxx, Toys R Us, Hobby Lobby and others.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The retail center has a minimum of half-dozen customer service stations, a few seating, offices, and some retail space. Comcast has decided to place 20 technicians in their old location but the retail store still has eleven employees.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ronnie said, \u201cIt was nice to be able to do this in the birthplace of Comcast. We\u2019d done a few minor renovations on the old place, but this is where we\u2019re headed with a state-of-the-art store. We try to make it all a part of the customer experience. It\u2019s a very relaxing experience. You take a number, you can have a seat, charge your phone, watch TV and of course shop for cables, routers, wireless gateways and things like that.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1702\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1702\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1702\" class=\"wp-image-1702 size-medium\" title=\"Xfinity Offers\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetripleplay.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Xfinity-Packages-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Xfinity Packages\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1702\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em><strong>Comcast Xfinity<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Customers can also see a demo of other services provided by Comcast such as home security systems here at this retail store.

The Xfinity store manager, Christy Scott, has been working with Comcast for the last 25 years.
