Renovated Yorkdale and Metrotown Samsung Experience Stores Re-Open with Modern Shopping Experience

Enhanced retail store design reflects evolving consumer behaviours and expectations

Two Samsung Experience Stores reopening this fall will offer customers in Ontario and British Columbia a vastly transformed shopping experience featuring interactive displays and a dazzling design.

The revamped stores at Yorkdale Mall in Toronto and Metrotown Mall in Burnaby now boast stunning interiors and enhanced retail offerings. Consumers will enjoy an immersive digital experience, surrounded by sleek displays spotlighting the latest innovative Samsung products. Each location will have new repair service centres, a new mobile transaction station, customer product training areas, designated spaces for quick and convenient pickup of online orders, and offer an opportunity to test the newest exciting Samsung technology including Galaxy Z Fold3 and Galaxy Z Flip3 5G smartphones. The stores will offer the latest in personalization and customization with the Bespoke edition for both the Galaxy Z Flip3 5G and the latest Galaxy Watch4.

The Yorkdale store reopens today, and the Metrotown Mall store is reopening in mid-November.  The temporary store at Metrotown Mall, which is located on the upper level of the shopping centre, will remain open until renovations of the main store are complete.

Just in time for the Holiday Season, these two new Samsung Experience Stores will make shopping easier and more enjoyable.

“Even with all the modern-day conveniences of online shopping, customers still crave an elevated in-store experience, and that desire is heightened this time of year for many Canadians,” said Krista Collinson, Head of Direct to Consumer and Retail Excellence. “We’re proud to offer our customers the option to buy online, but our stores remain the most exciting way to physically experience our products. Samsung Experience Stores are not simply an in-person version of our website, but a premium, personalized shopping experience with on-site product experts and access to the latest innovations in the industry.”

Samsung Canada is committed to providing consumers with seamless retail offerings that align with the expectations of online or in-store pickup and result in memorable omnichannel experiences. Samsung offers customers an endless aisle, offering the latest in Frame lifestyle TVs, Gaming monitors and the newest Bespoke Appliances. The new store design and flow help Samsung meet consumer expectations around safety protocols without losing the stunning aesthetics and design for which the brand is known.  

The health and safety of our customers and employees continues to be our top priority. When visiting a Samsung Experience Store, we request all consumers follow in-store social distancing protocols and wear a facial mask or covering. During peak traffic periods, customers may be asked to wait in line before entry into the store or Service Centre.
