MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Aug. 1, 2014) - Located in Montreal's Rockland Centre, the first-ever international iStore invites consumers to discover the latest, most fashionable digital lifestyle products in a chic, ultra-modern atmosphere.

"Technology has gone far beyond being a simple tool," explains Joel Teitelbaum, CEO of iStore Inc. "It is a fashionable form of self-expression and individuality. With so many options available to consumers, our goal was to create a unique, interactive environment that highlights a dynamic and imaginative selection of the latest digital solutions and accessories.
