Comcast Celebrates Grand Opening of Xfinity Store in Morton Grove

Comcast celebrated the grand opening of its Xfinity store in Morton Grove today. The store is located at 7929 W. Golf Road in the Washington Commons shopping center.  Morton Grove Mayor Dan DiMaria, several village trustees and representatives of the Chamber of Commerce joined the festivities.

The new 5,700 square-foot space is designed to give visitors real life, hands-on demonstrations of Xfinity’s range of products and services, from cable TV, high-speed Internet and home phone service, to the company’s home security and home automation platform, Xfinity Home.  The store also will feature iPads and other mobile devices visitors can use to test Xfinity’s Android and iOS apps.  Apps range from Xfinity TV, which allows customers to watch live TV on any screen in their homes and download and take their DVR recordings with them on the go, to Xfinity Home, which allows customers to manage and monitor their homes remotely.

In addition to product and service demos, customers also can pay bills, pick up and return equipment and get assistance from trained, knowledgeable sales consultants.
