PASCO, Wash. , Sept 18, 2012 -- Coinstar is celebrating the opening of its new customer service center in Pasco..

Coinstar moved from Kennewick to a large facility at 5615 Dunbarton Ave. in Pasco because of business growth, according to a news release.

The call center handles inquiries for the company's Redbox DVD and video game rentals, Coinstar coin-counting and other ventures. Its employees assist customers in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Ireland.
