Samsung earlier this year announced its plan to open its own retail stores in Canada. Today, it announced that construction had begun on its first store. It will be located in Burnaby, British Columbia, in the Metropolis at Metrotown. It promises an “exciting new way” for customers to experience and interact with Samsung’s line up of mobile, personal computing, and consumer electronics products.
“Samsung is excited to bring a new level of retail experience to Canadians,” said James Politeski, President of Samsung Electronics Canada. “Our vision is to provide an immersive space where consumers can interact with our products in totally new ways and enjoy unprecedented service levels.”
Samsung’s first store will feature an in-store education area, Smart Table technology and a tablet-based point-of-sale system.
The Burnaby Samsung store is scheduled to open this summer. Although Samsung is planning other stores, no word was provided as to when and where they would open.
