In an official Facebook post, Microsoft has unveiled eleven new Microsoft Store locations, set to open this May. Did your location make the list? Microsoft currently has 83 retail and specialty stores in the United States and Canada, with more stores to open in the near future.
\n
For those that don’t know, a typical Microsoft retail store provides a showcase for the company’s latest Windows Phone 8 handsets, Windows 8.1 devices, the Xbox One, Office 365, and much more. Microsoft provides a first-look at new products, offers midnight product launches, and even hands-on workshops at these retail stores. A Microsoft Specialty Store, on the other hand, is a popup shop located inside a mall. Specialty Stores offer a curated selection of the best Microsoft products, while retail stores offer a wide variety of products and services.
\n
Typically, a Microsoft Store grand opening entails exciting offers and giveaways, so if you live near any of these locations, make sure you pay a visit! Here is the entire list of new Specialty Store locations set to open during the month of May:
