The store will also feature Answer Desk, which is a one-stop shop for questions, troubleshooting, repairs and support for all Microsoft software and hardware.
This is claimed to be more than just a retail store, as it will host community events, offer training workshops, and support science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education.
Microsoft claims that the store will complement its retail partner network and be a natural extension of the company’s existing online store.
