Verizon took a very strong cue from Apple on Tuesday after a demonstration of a next-generation store concept. The 3,100 square foot "Evolution 2.0" store illustrated to PocketNow in Toms River, New Jersey moves away from the traditional carrier store's emphasis on wall displays and frequently dummy-only units by having brightly-lit central tables with working demo devices. At least the demo shop will make a point of fully staffing the store with 21 full-time workers, cutting the time in the store from as much as an hour to just minutes.
