NORTH PROVIDENCE – A new
cell phone store is expected to open
next year at the former Spardello's
Men's Clothiers property across from
Jacky's Galaxie on Mineral Spring
Avenue.
Kathi DeGrande, district manager
for indirect distribution for Verizon
Wireless, told The Breeze that Cellular
Sales, an agent of Verizon Wireless
based in Knoxville, Tenn., is slated to
open at 1483 Mineral Spring Ave. in
late 2017.
The Breeze reported in November
of 2014 that the North Providence
Planning Board had given town devel-
oper Joseph Iaciofano conditional
master plan approval for a major land
development at the property.
Iaciofano said at the time that two
companies were inquiring about com-
ing to the property, and neither was a
restaurant.
Iaciofano did not respond to requests
for comment.
Heavy machinery was seen on the
property over the past few days.
Town Planner David Westcott said
the former plan to tear down the build-
ing was apparently scrapped after the
Planning Board approved a demolition
and reconstruction plan. A contractor is
now doing facade improvements, which
do not require board approval, and is
looking to repave the lot, said Westcott.
