I actually I went on the launch date of the 23rd to a mall which has a Verizon franchise store in it, and they were selling the last one as I got there... The sales guy told me that at another franchise store, maybe 15 minuets away they had them. I headed out of the mall and was going to the other store, when I noticed another Verizon store in the same mall (never realized there were two there) Anyway, I walked in, asked the girl if they had any S4s and they had plenty! I asked the girl about the two Verizon stores, and she told me that the other one was a franchise store, and they were a corporate store....never knew the two existed..... Just a little note....I couldn't help noticing when I walked out of the store, that there were maybe 8 or 10 people, sitting on benches near the store playing with their new S4s....lol.
