Capital City Wireless at 1026 West Saginaw in Lansing has renovated its interior after a small space heater caught on fire and caused smoke damage to the interior walls and ceilings.
"We had to replace the display walls, ceiling, and HVAC system,” says Peter Boldt, 
who owns the store with his wife, Linh. “We cleaned the smoke with a combination of cleaners and soda blasting, all the walls and woodwork were sealed and repainted and we managed to clean the display cases and floor tile."
All of their inventory has also been refreshed and replaced. "We carry as wide a selection of wireless providers as possible,” says Boldt. “Each provider has strengths and weaknesses. Our job is to find the best product [and] plan for each customer's unique needs. We strongly believe that honestly serving the customer's needs is the best path to success."
The following carriers are available at Capital City Wireless: Sprint/Nextel, T-Mobile, Centennial, Helio, MetroPCS, VirginMobile, PagePlus & Boostmobile,
The store closed for a month, but officially opened again on March 2 after the renovations were made.
