The Toronto location will be the first Microsoft store to open outside of the U.S. but don’t expect it to be the last. “You’ll see the store brand continue to go out, and go out into the world. We’re going to continue to tell the Microsoft story through our stores,” said Turner during the announcement.
Like other Microsoft stores, it promises to offer a selection of Windows 8, Windows Phone 8, and Xbox products and accessories. It will also feature a video wall, Surface tables, an Answers Desk (Microsoft’s answer to Apple’s Genius Bar), and more.
