EE is set to open its new Experience store in Westfield Stratford City, following the launch of its flagship Studio in Westfield London last June. The new store aims to help the East London community maximise their use of connected technology.
This launch is part of a £6m investment by EE into the British high street, with ten Experience stores set to open this year. The Stratford Experience store will open its doors at 11am on Wednesday, 17th July, featuring an exclusive appearance from actor, comedian, and rapper Michael Dapaah.
