Microsoft is opening a flagship store tomorrow at the Eaton Centre in downtown Toronto. Taking over the spot that used to serve as the Sony Store for many years (and effectively replacing the pop-up kiosk that's served as a storefront for two years), the new Sony Store opens tomorrow morning at 10:30 a.m. Hit jump for details.

To celebrate the event, Microsoft will be selling Dell Venue 8 Pro (32GB) tablets at $99 each (from $299) as well as $99 Xbox 360 models. The first people in line will get a chance to play Xbox with hockey great Tie Domi. 

This marks Microsoft’s ninth retail store in Canada, and 109^th across the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico.

Microsoft Stores offer an assortment of best-in-class products, including Windows 8.1 PCs, tablets, Windows Phones, Xbox One, Microsoft Office 365 and more. Customers also receive end-to-end service with an Answer Desk and knowledgeable staff to answer questions, make recommendations, and help with PC setups and other services, so they can walk out the door with a product that’s ready to run.
