London, Sep 22 (IANS): Microsoft is set to open its first UK store on Londons Oxford Circus, just opposite Apple's flagship store that was revamped a year ago.
"Microsoft has confirmed that it plans to open a store in London. As has become tradition, Microsoft's new store is just a few doors away from Apple's own retail store on Regent Street," The Verge reported late on Thursday.
The company had earlier shown interest in opening a flagship UK store. It was rumoured to open one in 2013 and then later in 2015.
However, the company shelved its plan after it could not locate a right spot.
Notably, this time, Microsoft has officially confirmed its plans of unveiling a store which indicates the deal could be materialised.
The tech giant has similar stores across the US, a few in Canada, and one each in Puerto Rico and Australia.
