LAKE CHARLES, La. (Nov. 10, 2011) – Several city officials
and Chamber of Commerce representatives joined Suddenlink
regional executives and local employees today cut a
ceremonial ribbon opening Suddenlink’s newly renovated
retail store at 1538 East Prien Lake Road in Lake Charles.
City Council Vice President Mark Eckard read a
proclamation on behalf of Mayor Randy Roach calling today
“Suddenlink Day” in Lake Charles. Other special guests
included Iowa Mayor Carol Ponthieaux, Throne of Grace
Fellowship Church Pastor Dr. Wilton J. Red, City Councilman
Stuart Weatherford, Chamber Southwest President George Swift
and Chamber Southwest Ambassador Mary Ann Booth.
Suddenlink’s new retail store provides a base of
operations for 65 employees in the city, and also offers a
whole new experience for customers, with hands-on
interactive displays demonstrating Suddenlink services.
Counters no longer separate Suddenlink sales people from
customers, allowing more personal interaction.
The new Suddenlink retail store, designed by Monigle
Associates, Inc., of Denver, has been outfitted with new
furnishings and features bright green and blue décor inside
and out. A large new Suddenlink sign stands outside the
location.
Suddenlink General Manager Kim LaPoint said, “We now have a
beautiful place to showcase our Advanced Digital TV,
high-speed Internet, phone and new home security services.
It allows our customers an opportunity to get hands-on
experience that we could not provide before.”
Suddenlink’s new retail store opening is the latest in
a series of new service announcements by the company in the
Lake Charles area.
Late last year Suddenlink announced a nationwide
capital investment program, calling for approximately $350
million over three years, above and beyond Suddenlink’s
traditional capital spending levels. Since it began, that
program already has brought faster Internet speeds,
including Suddenlink High Speed Internet MAX 107.0 with
download speeds of up to 107 Megabits per second, and more
high-definition (HD) TV channels to Lake Charles and Sulphur
customers.
Suddenlink’s new retail store is open 8:30 a.m. to 6
p.m., Monday-Friday and 8:30 a.m. to Noon on Saturday. More
information about Suddenlink services is available online at
www.suddenlink.com.

is the seventh largest cable operator in the United States,
supporting the information, communication and entertainment
demands of approximately 1.4 million residential customers
and thousands of commercial customers in Arkansas,
Louisiana, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas, West Virginia
and elsewhere. Suddenlink simplifies its customers’ lives
through one call for support, one connection, and one bill
