About
Description
GLENTEL is a telecommunications company headquartered in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. The company was founded in 1963 by Samuel Herberman and operates as a subsidiary of BCE Inc., a major communications company in Canada. GLENTEL started as a small telecommunication equipment distributor and has since grown to become a leading provider of wireless communication products and services.
The company primarily offers products and services related to wireless communications, including smartphones, accessories, and services such as wireless plans and repairs. GLENTEL operates through various retail brands, including WirelessWave, Tbooth wireless, Wireless Etc., and Costco Wireless, which are located in shopping centers, malls, and other retail locations across Canada. These brands provide a wide range of wireless products from leading manufacturers, such as Apple, Samsung, and Google.
On a global scale, GLENTEL has expanded its operations through various partnerships. In 2013, the company entered into a joint venture with Target Corporation to operate Target Mobile stores in the United States. However, this joint venture was dissolved in 2015.
GLENTEL has also partnered with Costco Wholesale to operate wireless kiosks in Costco stores in Canada and the United States. In terms of market position, GLENTEL has established itself as one of the largest telecommunications retailers in Canada. The company has a significant presence and a strong market share in the country.
However, in recent years, the telecommunications industry has become highly competitive with the entrance of new players and the rise of online retail. GLENTEL faces strong competition from other telecommunications retailers, as well as online platforms and mobile network operators. In terms of major events and achievements, GLENTEL's partnership with Target Corporation in the United States was a significant opportunity for expansion.
However, the dissolution of the joint venture impacted the company's growth strategy. GLENTEL has also continuously expanded its product lineup to keep up with changing consumer demands and emerging technologies. As of the latest available information, GLENTEL continues to operate as one of Canada's leading telecommunications retailers.
The company strives to provide customers with a wide selection of wireless products and services through its retail brands across the country. While facing competition in the industry, GLENTEL remains a dominant player in the Canadian market
