The former location of Snooky's Restaurant is undergoing demolition and major renovation making way for a new Verizon franchise store slated to open October 1. This will be Wireless One Management, LLC's ninth Verizon franchise store, and its first in Statesboro. "Verizon approached us just about a year ago, and asked us if we would be interested in putting a store in Statesboro," said Thomas Bradford, co-owner of the Athens-based company.
