About Mr. Joe Barbat
Southfield, Michigan-headquartered Wireless Toyz has cornered the market on one-stop cellular shopping. Founded by entrepreneur Joe Barbat, Wireless Toyz has experienced unprecedented growth under Barbat’s leadership, largely because the nationwide chain offers customers convenience, superior technical assistance, and an unmatched variety of accessories.
Michigan native Joe Barbat grew Wireless Toyz from a kiosk in his father’s store to 100 retail locations, some of which are corporate owned and the remainder owned and operated by franchisees. By 2007, Wireless Toyz and Joe Barbat had earned numerous accolades from Entrepreneur, Ernst & Young, and other business organizations and publications. That same year, with Wireless Toyz grossing an estimated $69.7 million annually, Bessemer Venture Partners and Nokia Growth Partners decided to invest in Joe Barbat's Wireless Toyz business model. Although the economy conditions continued to decline, Joe Barbat reacquired the company in 2009. Today, Joe Barbat has realigned the Wireless Toyz model and is dedicated to building the retailer into one of the most nationally recognized brands in the mobile merchandising industry.
