Xiaomi decided to close its store in London , the capital of England, before the end of 2018, even before 2 years. The store-related Twitter account and even the Mi Store page on the Westfield website have also been closed (Westfield is a large shopping mall hosting the Mi Store).
Moreover, it is stated that this is not a temporary shutdown decision due to coronavirus, but a permanent shutdown decision according to Xiaomi's strategy change.
Even though the Xiaomi store in London has been closed, customers will be able to purchase Xiaomi products from the official mi.com/uk website and sites that collaborate with Xiaomi such as Amazon .
Nevertheless, Xiaomi has many stores across Europe, and the largest one is located in Şanzelize Street in Paris .
The following statements were made in the statement made by Xiaomi about the closure of the Mi Store in England :
“This arrangement in our local retail strategy is an answer to our rapidly growing business in Western Europe. We are very pleased to develop good relationships with our users, Mi fans and collaborators, and thank you very much for your support, after your official development in England more than a year ago. Users and Mi fans in the UK can continue to buy Xiaomi products through the official mi.com/uk website and through official channels that will be announced in the future with our product launches. ”
