Hhgregg recently held six grand openings in the Tampa area for its new stores, including one in the Brandon area at 10277 E. Adamo Dr. in the old Circuit City spot. The Indianapolis, Indiana-based appliance and electronics company hired 32 new employees for the Brandon store, according to Jeff Pearson, vice president of marketing for hhgregg. Each employee at Hhgregg undergoes over 200 hours of product training each year, he said. “Expanding in Florida has been an integral part of our accelerated growth plans,” Pearson said. “Over the past year, the competitive landscape regarding the consumer electronics industry has changed considerably and the Tampa area presented us with an ideal opportunity to expand our business and gain market share. The six new stores will allow us to cultivate relationships with consumers who are looking for quality products and top-notch customer service.” At 31,479 sq. feet, hhgregg offers the largest showroom display of electronics and appliances, with a selection of over 100 digital TVs and 400 major appliances in stock every day.
