(NASDAQ:ESCH): Eschelon Telecom, Inc., a provider of integrated
communications services to small and medium sized businesses in the
western United States, today announced the opening of the Fort Collins,
Colorado market, the second of six planned new markets in 2007. Earlier
this month, Eschelon completed an expansion of its network facilities
bringing a full suite of telephone and Internet services into the Fort
Collins area.
“The opening of this office allows us to bring
services to customers in Fort Collins, Greely, Windsor, and Loveland,”
stated Steve Wachter, Eschelon’s Executive
Vice President of Sales. “We can now partner
with businesses along the entire front range –
from Fort Collins all the way down to Colorado Springs. This is very
important to our customers with multiple locations.”
The new office, located at 3665 JFK Parkway, Building 2, Suite 310 in
Fort Collins, CO. 80525 will immediately house six Eschelon associates,
primarily in sales and customer service functions. That number is
expected to grow with the Fort Collins base of customers. Eschelon
currently employs 99 associates in the state of Colorado and
approximately 1,470 nationwide. Fort Collins businesses interested in
learning more about Eschelon’s products and
services can call the new office at 970-223-2227.
“Colorado has been a great state for Eschelon,”
commented Jon Secrest, Eschelon’s Vice
President of Marketing. “There is no other
provider in the state that offers small and medium businesses as broad a
product offering as Eschelon, and now we have a broad service area to
match!”
Eschelon began offering telecommunications services in Colorado shortly
after the purchase of Denver-based telephone equipment provider
Electro-Tel, Inc. in December, 1997. Eschelon expanded beyond the Denver
metro area with the opening of a Colorado Springs office in April of
this year. Eschelon’s next planned new market
is Tucson, Arizona which is expected to open next month.
