Will having its own stores bring Samsung the lines of customers?Not to be outdone by Microsoft, Sony and Apple, Samsung's gone ahead and opened its first Samsung Retail Store in Burnaby’s Metropolis at Metrotown. A report from the Vancouver Sun states that:

"The store launch comes as the company celebrates its latest patent victory over Apple’s attempt to block sales of Samsung’s Galaxy Nexus smartphones; its phone sales have driven the company to a record $9.5 billion US quarterly profit and its newest flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S III is flying off the shelves.

A showcase for all that is mobile in Samsung’s growing lineup of consumer products — from smartphones, to tablets, notebook computers and digital cameras — the Metro Vancouver store could be seen as a legacy of the 2010 Olympic Games"

The Samsung Store is said to have been put up in partnership with one of Canada's wireless carriers, although who this silent partner is has not been revealed.
