Another cellphone store is coming to Montague Street. This former florist shop will be a new AT&T store.

The Garment District is for clothing, the Diamond District is for jewelry, and Montague Street is for cellphones?

Apparently so, now that AT&T will move its Cadman Plaza West store to the block between Clinton and Henry streets later this summer, bringing to three the number of cellular stores on the block.

Employees confirmed that AT&T will move around the corner to the former location of James Weir Floral Company, joining a block that already boasts Verizon Wireless and Sprint PCS shops.

Neighbors say that three is a crowd.

“I think it’s a bit excessive having three on one block,” said Linda Difazio. “It just doesn’t seem necessary.”
