Microsoft announced more retail locations in the US for 2013. The stores will offer more people the opportunity to play with Microsoft products and Nokia Lumia devices. Microsoft also plans to transition some of their specialty stores into permanent full-line stores. You may have seen some of these stores as kiosks at some shopping malls.

The new store locations for 2013 include:

• The Shops at La Cantera, San Antonio, Texas
• Dadeland Mall, Miami, Fla.
• Beachwood Place, Beachwood, Ohio
• Westfield San Francisco Centre, San Francisco
• City Creek Center, Salt Lake City
• St. Louis Galleria, St. Louis

The dates for the grand openings were not mentioned, but we’ll surely know about it. Microsoft usually throws parties with celebrities when they open.

Here’s a list of current Microsoft Store locations. Have you been to one lately?
