MetroPCS Closes Up Shop in Babylon

MetroPCS, the cellular device company, has abruptly closed its Babylon Village location this week.

The cell phone storefront had been in business for at least a year at its location on Railroad Avenue.

There was no official reason given for the closure and a telephone number for the business was disconnected as of Wednesday afternoon.

The store was the last cell phone provider with a location in Babylon. T-Mobile operated a short lived store at the current Spalax in early 2012 and a Sprint store closed in mid-2012 at what became the new Girasole Salon location.

In possibly related news, T-Mobile purchased MetroPCS on May 1 to become T-Mobile US.
