Microsoft previously disclosed plans for the stores in July at its Worldwide Partner Conference. Monday, the company confirmed that there will be 32 such stores, distributed across the U.S. and Canada.
Some of the shops will be located in high-profile areas, such as in New York City’s Time Warner Center, The San Francisco Center, Fashion Show Mall in Las Vegas, and the West Edmonton Mall in Edmonton, Alberta. The latter is the largest shopping center in North America.
The list, published by Microsoft, also includes locations in smaller metropolitan and suburban areas, such as San Antonio; Nashville, Tenn.; West Hartford, Conn.; and Paramus, N.J.
