Nokia Flagship Stores
<< Nokia is in Shanghai first. Would be interested to see where the 7 open and 18 planned Nokia flagship stores are scheduled and how they compare Apple Store in size and locations. >>
There are seven Nokia Flagship Stores currently open ...
Moscow, Chicago, Hong Kong, Helsinki, New York City, Mexico City, and Shanghai.
Next to open is the Regent Street store in London which will be its largest to date (1,000 square meters) followed by Sao Paulo in spring of 2008 (the 9th).
Upcoming launches beyond that are planned for Paris, Madrid or Barcelona, Milan, Istanbul, Munich, Singapore, Dubai and Tokyo, with no further stores planned for the US at this time.
The recently opened Shanghai Flagship store supplements 170 direct Nokia operated stores and more than 40,000 other retail outlets carrying Nokias on the Mainland.
<< BTW, who pioneered and/or popularized the "flagship" store concept? Niketown? Virgin Records? Sony? Disney? >>
I'm not sure, but the base Nokia concept was suppoedly modeled on Niketown.
