With the announcement of a new Microsoft Store being built for Boston, lots of our readers anxiously await to see if Redmond will be coming to their areas soon. While Microsoft does not pre-announce these stores too far in advance, one way you can easily figure out is by simply looking up where they are hiring.
Yup, on the Microsoft Store Careers site they have many positions open and looking to be filled. What's more, these jobs are in cities not yet announced (but you can bet they will be soon). So, are you lucky?
We are. A store is opening in Huntington Station, NY, most likely at the Walt Whitman Mall. What else is at that shopping center? Why one the busiest Apple stores in New York (besides the Manhattan store). It certainly appears that Microsoft is gunning for Cupertino on their own turf and we'll be there to cover it.
Without further ado, the unofficial Microsoft Store list as compiled by reader Travis:
- White Plains, NY
- Huntington Station, NY
- Newark, DE
- Overland Park, KS
- Salem, NH
- Orlando, FL
- Arlington, VA
- Bridgewater, NJ (Bridgewater Commons)
- Freehold, NJ (Raceway Mall)
- Danbury, CT (Danbury Fair Mall)
Great to see the East coast finally getting some stores. Celebrate in comments. Thanks, Travis B., for the list; Image via the Denver Post
