Last year, Microsoft opened its first international retail stores in Edmonton, Burnaby, Vancouver, and Toronto, and next month, a store is scheduled to open in London. The UK launch will be the first Microsoft retail store to open outside of North America.
Microsoft will provide more information on the new locations in the coming weeks, said Jonathan Adashek, Microsoft’s general manager of communications strategy in the Sales & Marketing Services Group.
