Verizon Wireless coming to Route 47 in Huntley

HUNTLEY – A new Verizon Wireless store is coming to Route 47 in Huntley.

Verizon will build a 2,543-square-foot retail building on a lot of Huntley Crossings, near the corner of Route 47 and Regency Parkway, said Charles Nordman, Huntley director of development services.

Conceptual plans for Verizon were reviewed Thursday at Huntley’s Committee of the Whole meeting. Entrances to the building will be on the east side, and all walls will have light fixtures and aluminum canopies over the glass and aluminum storefront windows, according to village documents.

A future Panda Express building will be to the south of the Verizon building. The 2,200-square-foot restaurant and drive-thru will sit two lots north of the proposed O’Reilly Auto Parts site, Nordman said.

The Verizon building plans were forwarded to the Huntley Planning Commission for further review.

A Verizon Authorized Retailer, TCC, is located in Huntley at 12030 Princeton Drive, but the village doesn’t have any existing Verizon retail stores.
