We first shared this in December 2011 as a rumor we found on Twitter that said that Harry and David, Williams Sanoma and The Pottery Barn were shutting down and being replaced by A Microsoft Store and a Dell Store. Then in January 2012 we shared another rumor that the stores were shut down to make way for a triple-size Apple store.
What the Microsoft Store will offer:
· Offers an assortment of products, including Windows 7 PCs, Windows Phones, Kinect for Xbox 360, Office 2010 and more.
· Offers complimentary tech trainings, business-ready PCs, phones and more. Great resource for small businesses!
· Regularly hosts community organizations in the theater space and the employees are out in the community supporting local causes.
· Customers can show their individual style through a partnership with Skinit. Customers can design their own lids and skins for not only laptops, but also phones and Xbox.
