Carphone set for American roll-out

UK mobilephone company Carphone Warehouse today said it would take on the American market with the “rapid roll-out” of its partnership with US retailer Best Buy.

The mobile phone group said it hoped for between 150 and 200 stores, the majority of which will be “store within a store” concepts in existing Best Buy locations. The move follows a five month trial of Best Buy Mobile, which Carphone said had delivered encouraging results.
