Many of the other companies who share this achievement have moved on to become national icons, and Wireless Emporium is poised to follow in their footsteps.

This accomplishment, in lieu of the challenging retail environment, is a testament to the loyalty of our customers and the efforts of our dedicated team whose commitment to providing world-class service has enabled us to sustain this growth - this is only the beginning of our growth story."

Cell phone accessories, a burgeoning market valued worldwide at over $3 billion growing over 15% annually continue to be in demand as competition from smartphone manufacturers such as Apple, BlackBerry, HTC, Motorola and more engage in an endless battle for market share. Niche retailers such as Wireless Emporium are positioned uniquely to benefit from consumer demand for newer phones with better features and functionality. "As long as new phones continue to flood the marketplace we'll continue to provide the best in cell phone accessories at a tremendous value to our customers," says Eugene Ku, Co-Founder. "When customers buy or upgrade to one of the hot new phones, we're able to provide better accessories like cell phone covers at substantially reduced pricing than what they'll be sold on the spot by their carrier store or big-box retailer backed by service and extended warranties never included from these traditional sources."
