SAN FRANCISCO: Microsoft said Friday it will close all of its stores and move its retail operations online, keeping just four locations and transforming them into “experience centres”.
The four locations that will become Microsoft Experience Centres are in London, New York, Sydney and at the company’s Redmond, Washington headquarters. “Our sales have grown online as our product portfolio has evolved to largely digital offerings, and our talented team has proven success serving customers beyond any physical location,” said Microsoft corporate vice-president David Porter.
The impact of the pandemic has not yet been reflected in Microsoft’s financial results. It posted a net profit of US$10.8 billion from January to March, up 22% year-on-year, on a turnover of US$35 billion.
