Xfinity store to open in Glenview

Comcast said an Xfinity Store is set to open in Glenview at 2840 Patriot Blvd. in June.

The new store will give visitors hands-on experience with Xfinity's range of products and services, from cable TV, high-speed Internet and the company's mobile phone service, Xfinity Mobile, to its home security platform, Xfinity Home.

The store also will feature iPads and other mobile devices visitors can use to explore Xfinity's Android and iOS apps. Apps range from: Xfinity Stream, which allows customers to watch live TV anywhere at home over WiFi, watch up to 200 live channels outside their homes, stream up to 40,000 On Demand choices on-the-go and download movies and TV shows; and Xfinity WiFi, which allows customers to search for locations of the network's more than 18 million hotspots across the country and more than 1.7 million in the region; to xFi, which allows high-speed Internet customers to personalize and control their home networks.

"The stores are awesome places to visit and learn more about Xfinity products and services from the trained store staff," said John Crowley, Comcast's Greater Chicago Region senior vice president.

"We're pleased that Glenview has been chosen as a location for an Xfinity store," said Village President Jim Patterson said.

Along with product and service demos, customers will be able to pay bills, pick up and return equipment and get assistance from trained, knowledgeable sales and service consultants.
