Miele clears out of Wellesley Square

Got to confess to be slow on this one: The high-end appliance “experience center’s” big red Miele sign has been removed, as have the ovens, dishwashers and whatever else used to be inside the store at 555 Washington St.

But there is a note on the door explaining that you can still buy Miele stuff from the company’s unnamed partners.

Hit up wellesleycenter@mieleusa.com for details on where to buy Miele products.
