T-Mobile to Open on Vernon Boulevard, Takes Over Longstanding Dental Office Site

49-13 Vernon Blvd., former site of Hunters Point Dental Services.

Dec. 28, 2017 By Nathaly Pesantez

A T-Mobile store will be opening tomorrow in Hunters Point at the former site of a dental office.

The new store is located at 49-13 Vernon Blvd., and takes over the Hunters Point Dental Services location, which operated at the site for more than 35 years.

The Hunters Point Dental Services office announced earlier this year it would be moving one block up to a larger space at One Vernon Jackson, a residential building at the intersection of Vernon Boulevard and Jackson Avenue.

The move comes after the office merged with the Long Island-based ProHealth Dental in February.

The T-Mobile store is the latest wireless communications giant to open on Vernon Boulevard. A Verizon store opened at 47-34 Vernon Blvd. last year, which replaced a nail spa.

Mayor Adams marks one year of ‘Padlock to Protect’ with pizza and progress in Queens

Mayor Eric Adams marked the one-year anniversary of the launch of the city’s “Operation Padlock to Protect” initiative at a pizzeria on the Rego Park and Middle Village border on Wednesday and touted the significant progress in shutting down more than 1,400 illegal smoke shops across the five boroughs and seizing more than $95 million in illegal product since last May.

“The city was fed up. We heard it at every town hall. This time last year, there were thousands of illegal smoke shops plaguing our city with unlicensed cannabis endangering our children,” Adams said. “One year later, we are proud to announce that we have turned the tide. Thanks to the tireless efforts by our city’s law enforcement officers, we’ve padlocked thousands of illegal shops and created safer streets for children and families. But we’re not stopping there.”
