OTTAWA: The Japanese electronics manufacturer, Sony Corporation is going to close all 14 of its Sony Stores across Canada as the company continues to struggle to reshape its business.
The company made the announcement in a memo to the employees of its stores, telling them that the stores will cease operations within the next two months.
The company said in a statement, “Over the next 6 to 8 weeks we are closing our Sony Stores in Canada and will redirect all of this business through our national network of Sony retailers, our online store … as well as through our Sony-trained Telesales team,” read the statement.
“Our network of Sony authorized retailers offer a full range of Sony products and will be supported by our in-store Merchandisers and Product Trainers on an ongoing basis in order to ensure that our past customers have continued access to knowledgeable Sales consultants who can support their ongoing Sony electronics needs.”
The company’s news came on the same day that Target announced it would be shuttering all of its retail stores in Canada.
