Everyone, including local businesses, is being called upon to adjust how they operate to help limit social contact. It’s critical that we provide a healthy environment to everyone working in and visiting Cricket retail locations.

In an effort to limit traffic in densely populated areas and adhere to the social distancing guidelines from the CDC, we are temporarily closing all indoor mall locations and some authorized retail locations across the country.

To balance the needs of our customers, we have worked to ensure that a core set of stores remains open so that we can continue to serve our communities' critical needs. We will continue to clean and disinfect the stores frequently. 

We thank our customers for their patience as we work hard to provide them with the wireless service they rely on, while keeping safety and health top of mind. We will continue to monitor and take action as needed.

Updates to Store Hours:
Authorized Retail Locations
Authorized retailers that are open are encouraged to adjust their hours to: Monday – Friday 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and closed on Sundays.

Company Owned Retail Locations
All company-owned retail locations will have modified hours of operation: Monday – Saturday open 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and closed on Sundays.

Indoor Mall Locations

Our frontline employees and authorized retailers across the country care about your health. We’ve asked them to:

• Disinfect their workspace after every customer interaction
• Wipe down all displays and hard surfaces multiple times a day
• Pay extra attention to sanitizing common areas
• Quickly report if they are not feeling well

Our employees have extensive experience in planning for and responding to a wide variety of situations. We have a reliable, nationwide network and our teams are closely monitoring developments during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.  
 

Here are few extra tips to help keep you healthy and connected using your own devices:

• Keep your device clean. Spray a non-abrasive or alcohol-based (70% isopropyl) disinfectant directly onto a soft lint-free cloth and wipe down your device while it is powered down and unplugged.
• Share items like photos through text messages instead of passing your phone around.
• Since devices can collect germs, avoid putting your device on public surfaces and try to use a Bluetooth device or a hands-free headset to minimize physical contact with the device.
