At each of the nine new mall kiosks, QUICK LINQ will be providing exclusive access to the popular wireless service provider, MetroPCS. MetroPCS coverage expands into the Tampa region in October, 2005. QUICK LINQ'S exclusive ownership of MetroPCS mall locations in the Tampa/St. Petersburg region, in concert with the new coverage expansion, signifies a powerful alliance between the two companies.

MetroPCS offers consumers unlimited wireless service for a flat monthly rate. Customers do not have to sign a contract when signing up for MetroPCS' service, and the plan allows customers to talk any time of the day or night with no restrictions for one flat rate. All QUICK LINQ locations also accept bill payments for MetroPCS services.

QUICK LINQ superstores offer a wide range of cellular phones and services, including those of well-known providers Cingular Wireless, Sprint PCS, Alltel, T-Mobile and MetroPCS. The company's focus on providing down-to-earth customer service has proven popular with its expanding customer base.

"Choosing a cell phone can be a confusing experience, but not when you shop at our stores," says QUICK LINQ CEO Alex Alqawasmy. "We established our business to help ordinary people make sense of the many options and services available to the cell phone user. We focus on matching customers with the phone or service that best suits their needs."

QUICK LINQ was founded in January, 2001 in Port Charlotte, Florida by Alex and Steve Alqawasmy. Since its inception, the company has experienced exponential growth in the South/Central Florida markets.

The new locations are in addition to nine existing QUICK LINQ stores in Fort Myers, Immokalee, Port Charlotte and Arcadia. The company's corporate headquarters are in Port Charlotte, Florida. Additional stores are also slated to open in January, 2006.
