Microsoft announced Friday that it will close almost all of its stores worldwide, the bulk of its sales now being made online. The giant of Redmond specified that it was going to constitute a provision of 450 million dollars to cover in particular the depreciation of assets.

Thus, the hundred stores closed during the pandemic will not reopen, the company said. But the American computer giant, on the other hand, intends to create “Microsoft Experience Centers” in London, New York, Sydney and at its headquarters in Redmond, Washington. The number of employees affected by this decision was not immediately available.
