November 12, 2009, From 2010 Swisscom will no longer be represented with its Shops in the Globus stores. For economic reasons Swisscom has decided to focus with its partners on its own well- developed network of Shops at 157 locations across Switzerland and allow the contract with Globus to expire at the end of 2009. The staff affected will continue to be employed in the existing Swisscom Shops.

This will remain the case also in the future. With 157 Shops, Swisscom has a seamless network of sales outlets throughout Switzerland and can advise customers living in the immediate vicinity.
The staff affected by the closures will continue to be employed in the existing Swisscom Shops. There will be no layoffs. Customers at the respective locations will be informed in due course.
