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 109th 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.
