Microsoft closes its flagship store in Finland

Microsoft, which is currently re-branding Nokia stores worldwide, has closed its only flagship store in Finland. The once Nokia flagship outlet had become a Microsoft store just last November, and was located in the heart of downtown Helsinki.

According to Tomi Kuuppelomäki, the software giant's Finland communications manager, the move will affect a total of 15 people. He added that consumer sales will now be channelized through other retailers, operators, and Microsoft's own online stores.

The outlet served its last customers on April 30.
