Microsoft opens the doors to its rebranded retail store in Malaysia

As promised earlier this month, Microsoft has now reopened the first of the now former Nokia retail stores in Malaysia as an authorized reseller of Microsoft hardware and software products.

The store is located in the Suria KLCC shopping center and Lowyat.com reports it will be just be the first of 14 more rebranded Microsoft store locations that will open throughout Malaysia in the next year, selling Lumia smartphones, Surface tablets and more. Another 25 locations will be rebranded as smaller Microsoft Mobile Reseller Stores.

The company is already opening rebranded Nokia stores as Microsoft locations in Brazil, and it is set to open its first large stand alone retail store large store outside of the US in Sydney, Australia sometime in 2015.
