No, not a branch of Greggs, but Raspberry Pi has opened their first High Street store in Cambridge.
The team behind the pocket-sized Raspberry Pi computer is opening its first high street store in the city where it was invented. In a move bucking the online retail trend, the company will open an "experimental space" in Cambridge. The firm will also now offer a new starter kit of parts - to accompany the popular tiny computer. Founder and Chief Executive Eben Upton said he hoped the shop would attract customers who were "curious" about the brand.
Mr Upton said the store would give "a loyal and highly engaged community" another way to interact with the company and its products. "There's always a risk you can get complacent about your customers, but a physical store means we have a place for people, who are curious about Raspberry Pi, to experience it," he said.
The new all-in-one Raspberry Pi starter kit will include a mouse, keyboard and cables. Mr Upton said it contained everything "apart from the television".
