Russell Cellular quickly sets new sales record

After setting a 25-year sales high in August, Battlefield-based Russell Cellular Inc. broke its own record in November.

The company produced 81,974 total sales last month, compared with 71,996 in August. Estimated November revenue was $70.6 million, said Jeven Russell, vice president of operations.

“This puts our expected revenue around $650 million for the year,” he said.

Russell Cellular’s 2018 revenue was $424.1 million, Springfield Business Journal previously reported. This summer, Russell Cellular was eyeing 2019 revenue of $641.3 million.

Amid growing sales, the Verizon Wireless partner has relocated to its new $6 million corporate office in Battlefield. A ribbon-cutting ceremony for the roughly 41,000-square-foot headquarters at 4125 Wilson Creek Marketplace Road is scheduled for 3 p.m. today, according to a news release.
