That is great news ! It would be great to have kiosks in the GTA and east of Montreal.

Show some love for SW Ontario - forget the GTA. So many retailers selling the SIMs and offering vouchers, smaller towns need some Kiosk love too!

Our definitions of "near you" clearly differ (hahaha, just kidding) ...

Anyway, great to hear new kiosks are opening up! And the bike-powered charging stations sound so cool!

@MandyJRetail spaces especially in malls are strange beasts.. a lot of them mantain a mix of stores.. eg 30% must be telecomm places.. once places are established (and often by chains), they are not likely give up space for others for competitive reasons.. since Public is a relatively new comer.. it is not a space they can do that easily.

Metropolis is the location near me, anything happening at the kiosk today? If it gets interesting, I might drop by!

Charging power station sounds interesting, I wonder if anyone had the chace to try one and see how much time/rpm it takes to power up their phone.

@Alan_K really nice to see the new additions, can't wait to see more and more of these, and less and less of the Walmarts.

Is there a particular reason why there's nothing in Toronto yet? I would assume you are establishing these kiosks in the high traffic volume areas first where PM generates the most revenue. I'm guessing Toronto isn't high on that revenue list? Or maybe they are so high you're looking to have an actual retail store front for Toronto. I just find that a bit interesting.

Why Toronto, there’s a whole lot more of Ontario than Toronto. Still nothing in Ontario.

Can one buy SIM's at the Telus office tower in downtown Toronto?

I still wonder about the costs of these things themselves and the staffing costs and space rent in malls. Costs mean rising rates. I'm not sure I like it.
