Samsung retail store modelled on Apple's?

GottaBe Mobile writes.

Samsung opened up its retail store in North America, located in Metrotown, Vancouver, in Canada, and the store's simple and minimalist design can be said to be inspired by Apple's own retail stores.

Samsung's retail store's similarities with the Apple store are uncanny when users observe the blue-sporting customer service representatives and the one-on-one station, Digital Trends notes.

However, a few differentiators for Samsung is the metallic accents and rounded corners (particularly of its desks). Apple's aesthetic emphasises sharp corners and lines.

ARN reports the company is currently developing its retail space in Australia, just down the road from Apple's flagship George Street store.

The launch of a retail store is an obvious attempt to challenge the success Apple has had with the same strategy.
