New high-end Danish electronics store in South End

Bang & Olufsen, a Danish company that sells luxury audio, video and home electronics products, has opened a Charlotte retail store and showroom in the city's South End.

The showroom is located at 1700 Camden Road, near South and West boulevards. The location is currently open for business, but a grand opening celebration is planned for Wednesday, March 30. There will be a 2 p.m. event for media and a 6 p.m. customer event, featuring hors d'oeuvres, vodka cocktails, product demonstrations and the chance to win Bang & Olufsen products.

The company, which had revenue of about 370 million euros in its last fiscal year, operates stores in the U.S., Europe, the Middle East and Asia. The South End store is its first in North Carolina.

On display there are the BeoSound8, the company's exclusive iPod/iPad docking station, and a new advanced sound system for Audi luxury sedans, among other products such as TVs, speakers and headphones.

You can see more information about the South End showroom at the store's Facebook page here.

UPDATE: Bang & Olufsen says they formerly operated a store at Phillips Place for about three years in the late 1990's and early part of this decade. The retailers says it did not operate a store in Founder's Hall.

    Guess you're not aware that they USED to have a store at Phillips Place -- it closed not long after it opened. So we'll see how long THIS one lasts.

    I distinctly remember something about them being in Founders Hall a year or two ago.

    The ONE product link on here a) looks ridiculous and b) has a "Not Found" error when you click the "buy online" link. Beautiful. This will go over like a lead balloon.

    Great! A new place for the unemployed to hang out and mingle with people who like spending 9 grand on a DVD player.
