The grand opening of Comcast’s new South Sacramento Customer Service Center, featuring a reception and ribbon-cutting ceremony. The free event will feature prize giveaways and food to celebrate the new state of the art facility that will support the greater Elk Grove and South Sacramento area and its surrounding communities.

Previously, Comcast customers could only drop off payments or equipment at a nearby market and had to travel to Natomas, Roseville, Davis or Stockton if they needed full service Comcast access or wanted to test drive products. Designed entirely around the needs of customers, this new location features a welcoming environment where local residents can pay bills, interact with service agents, return or pick up equipment, and test-drive Comcast’s products including Video-on-Demand, Comcast residential home phone service, high-definition (HD) television, and blazing fast high speed Internet service.

The 2,500 square foot South Sacramento Customer Service Center will employ five people,and is open Monday through Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
