Our StoryIn 1996, the first MKcellular "office" was simply the trunk of a car owned by our Founder, Mark Erdmann. Mark sold phones directly to local businesses and going to people's homes by appointment. In 2001, he opened our first 100 sq. ft store across from Walgreens in Fort Atkinson. A few years later, we relocated to a 1,300 sq. ft space, where we operated from until mid-2014. Today, our 5,000 sq. ft flagship store is located at 730 Madison Ave. We continue to grow and today, operate 15 stores with a staff of 60+ in the following communities: Fort Atkinson, Jefferson, Elkhorn, Lake Mills, Watertown, Oconomowoc, Columbus, Pewaukee, Mukwonago, New Berlin, Delavan, Beloit, Whitewater, Kenosha and Lake Geneva. Additional stores are planned.
