Raspberry Pi Store opens in the UK

I was wondering when something like this would happen but the good folks with the Raspberry Pi Foundation have opened a store in Cambridge, UK quite appropriately called The Raspberry Pi Store. This is an awesome looking place where one could interact and buy various Raspberry Pi products, sort of in the same vain as another Fruit Store. I could envision these branching off to offering classes and instruction on how to use the RasPi, and not just for the STEM/STEAM aged folks. Maybe collaborating with the local Hacker Labs.

I'm looking for one to open in my locale in the US which I would suspect would be extremely popular.

I knew better than try to post something positive on this unsocial site. I'll be sure to listen a bit more to that little Cricket on my shoulder next time.

Hi Jon,

I'm glad that you posted it, I'd have missed it otherwise. Sorry it came across as being unsocial or negative. It was a bit excessively negative from me.
It could vary from person to person, I enjoy questioning organisations (charitable or not), than the people they are seeking to help - as can be seen by my assumptions that were localized at best, or incorrect, now that I've heard from other perspectives.
The store design to me still stinks, it could be a cultural or national difference, the stores and spaces are different here. I'm envious of cool stores like CVS actually - love that they stock so many different things, something for everyone.

No chance of happy juice here, just (non-Irish) coffee : )
I never had my first (and only) post published on the pi website (they manually vet I guess). Maybe an error in their system. In any case, I prefer to read and blog on many things not Pi related - I only posted my first post there to warn about a dangerous mains project on their blog page...

I don't think this'll be necessary today.
