phone store is ringing up business at the Pavilion

BellSouth Mobility's

success for eight years in Peachtree City has spawned a

new location in the county.

This month,

the company opened a new store at the Fayette Pavilion to

help meet the need of Fayette's growing number of

cellular customers.

"We've

certainly been pleased with the response of Fayette

County's residents in selecting BellSouth Mobility for

their airtime service and for their cellular

equipment," said Leon Walker, district sales manager

for the metro south region. "This new location will

allow us to serve more of the business community in south

Fulton, Fayette and surrounding areas as well."

Walker also

announced that he had appointed Lynn Rakestraw to manage

the company's new store at the Pavilion.

"Lynne

has been an outstanding store manager in Griffin since

1995, and won numerous awards as a district sales

representative prior to that. My confidence in her

ability to serve this new area is extremely high,"

Walker added.

Competing

against sales reps in all of BellSouth's regions,

Rakestraw received the top Atlanta sales award in 1998.

"To

tell you the truth, I simply love what I do,"

Rakestraw said. "When you have a top-quality product

and you love people, sales are the easiest thing in the

world. I look forward to getting to know everyone around

Fayetteville," Rakestraw said.

The store's

grand opening and ribbon cutting is set for July 28 from

10 a.m.-2 p.m.
