Harper’s Preserve residents gearing up for holiday shopping will be pleased to know that Microsoft will launch a special “pop-up” store at The Woodlands Mall this month.

On October 26, Microsoft will be opening 32 temporary stores for the holidays across the country, including a location inside of The Woodlands Mall. The location will be the only pop-up store of its kind in the Greater Houston area.

This holiday store will showcase a number of Microsoft products for demonstration and purchasing, including a new line of tablet devices known as Microsoft Surface, which will also be released on October 26.

“We’re excited about it,” Naomi Cortez, marketing manager for The Woodlands Mall, said. “It’s something that we’ve been working on for a while now. I think it’s a perfect addition for the holidays and will add something extra for people to shop in during the season.”

The Woodlands Mall already has an Apple store, and given the amount of shoppers that pass through it, having a Microsoft store for the holidays would be a good fit for the mall, Cortez said.

The current listed store hours for The Woodlands Mall are Mondays through Saturdays, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sundays, from noon to 6 p.m. The store will be located in the lower level of the mall, in the Center Court in front of Abercrombie & Fitch.
