LONDON (Alliance News) - Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. Wednesday said it had signed a deal for Carphone Warehouse Group PLC to operate over 60 of its Samsung stand-alone stores across Europe, and said there was the potential to further expand the store partnership in the future.
The deal comes after Samsung opened three stand-alone stores in Spain run by Carphone Warehouse in 2013.
The new stores, which will sell Samsung mobile products including phones, tablets, and laptops, will be rolled out in the next three months across seven European markets: the UK, Ireland, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Sweden and the Netherlands.
"There is potential to expand the relationship going forward, with Carphone Warehouse acting as Samsung's preferred partner across Europe and operating the majority of dedicated Samsung stores," Samsung said in a statement.
