Consumers aren't expected to see any difference in how voice calls work or sound during or after the transition, although better quality and enhanced services are possible.
"After a celebratory cup of Joe, we will immediately begin the transition of the company and implementing our vision for quality customer service and building the Tully's brand, " Dempsey said in a statement released Thursday.
The fact that we can deliver these results in a period of significant transition and uncertainty is a testament to our employees, the strength of our brand, the quality of our products and the scope of our customer base.
