Sony Expanding Retail Footprint With Newly Remodeled Stores

SONY ELECTRONICS KIOSK

Sony is opening the doors to three newly remodeled Sony Stores, and several brand new Sony Gallery experiences in just a few months, says the company.

The three new concept stores located in Miami, San Diego and Orlando will re-open with a new immersive experience. The remodels will bring the total of U.S. redesigned stores to eight.

Sony will include free-standing ‘Sony Galleries,’ a curated assortment of Sony’s best products in a smaller store footprint. The first Sony Gallery opened at the Westfield UTC Mall in San Diego.

Two Sony Galleries will open in New Jersey and San Francisco in May, and additional locations are being planned in shopping centers across the country.

The newly redesigned Sony stores feature a wide-open store front. Inside, Sony fans will be able to experience all things Sony, from Sony music artists playing over the speakers to Sony Pictures movies playing on 4K televisions.

The interior walls of the store are moveable and changeable, allowing new color schemes to be reconfigured to highlight specific products, services, or content.
