Apple Planning 53 New or Revamped Apple Store Locations Through 2027

[MacRumors]

Apple is planning to expand on its Apple Store efforts, introducing a number of new retail locations worldwide and overhauling several stores in the United States, reports Bloomberg.

There are 15 new stores coming to the Asia-Pacific region, five stores coming to Europe and the Middle East, and four stores coming to the U.S. and Canada. Another 28 stores in Asia, Europe, and North America will be revamped or relocated, with Apple working on the updates through 2027.

Three of the Asia-Pacific stores will be in India, one will be in Malaysia, two will be in South Korea, and one will be at the Jing'an Temple Plaza in Shanghai, with Apple also planning to overhaul its Shinsaibashi store in Osaka, Japan. In Europe, Apple plans to upgrade its Paris Opéra location and open new stores at the Battersea Power Station in London and La Vaguada in Madrid.

New Apple retail locations are coming to Miami, Detroit, and Torrance, California, while stores in New Jersey, Alabama, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Ohio, Georgia, and Missouri will be relocated.

Apple recently redid Apple Tysons Corner in Virginia, introducing a total overhaul of its first-ever Apple retail location. The store features a physical Genius Bar, a flexible hardware space, and an in-person Apple Watch Studio, and it's possible that some of these features could come to the new stores that are planned.

Bloomberg says that Apple is primarily updating older, smaller stores, with full details on specific locations for the new stores available from the site.

Would love for the two locations in Columbus Ohio to be enlarged and updated...

Apple should add more Apple Stores for larger college towns in the US. Even if they're smaller stores, it's sorely needed.

Ireland pretty please! 🤞

Apple Store Mini

I think a huge thing apple gets right is their stores that they make in historic buildings, that are extremely well done inside, and true to the history of the area. The apple stores in Rome, Florence, and one I went to in DC come to mind

Edit: spelling

Apple Ginza - I really like the Boutique Apple Store: Tokyo's Boutique Apple Store. It's charming and unique. Check it out! 🇯🇵🏣

The very first Apple Store in Japan moved to a new, eco-friendly location in late 2022. In May, AppleInsider went to see how it turned out.

I can’t read the whole report. To ones that can read it, could you please tell if Apple is planning to open a new store in Istanbul or Ankara?

Many school stores are already Apple Service Providers; so an Apple Store would be in competition and unlikely to generate enough revenue to be viable.

 

[sir1963nz]

Been in ones in Paris, London, NYC, Las Vegas,Hong Kong, Apple HQ, Sydney, and others ..... but now walk straight past them, seen one you have seen them all.
I can buy everything from local stores, but I can also buy a ton of stuff that Apple does not sell.

 

[GoneDrinkin]

Ireland pretty please! 🤞

It’s wild there hasn’t been one in Ireland yet!

 

[MacSafe]

no israel

 

[Mr. Awesome]

Really hoping we get another store in Idaho, or at least a relocation of the tiny Boise one.

 

[Somian]

Fort Wayne, Indiana, please, so I can stop driving 200 mile/4 hour round trips to get Macs fixed There's also no authorized service provider here.

 

[segfaultdotorg]

Can't wait to see the new Apple iStore Pro!

 

[WWPD]

Please Apple bring one to Inner Mongolia, please!

Well, re. Sweden we have not much Apple Stores here

When I ask in the Apple Store app….
213 km and 2 hrs and 7 mins away.
I could do it on a coffee break, right 😉

There are 3 stores in this country. Non with good locations in the biggest cities.
I live in 2nd biggest city, and the closet, yes, as mentioned above.

Then I read up why Apple don’t even have a very good central store in our capital city, Stockholm, it cleared up, as I recalled part of that story.
They bought property but wasn’t allowed to build there, and first wanted to sell it back to the city, and raised the price to make some win on the affair, and the city refused to buy it back.
So Apple was sitting with a property they couldn’t use for 7 years before they got it sold to some real estate investor guy.

Ok, so I guess Sweden is not a priority for Apple 😌

Excited to see how the revamped stores are. The past few years have been pretty poor IMO. Go in looking to try things and they don't have display models for a few weeks (Except for iPhone launches.) Also you then get pestered by every employee as if they can sense that you are just browsing. Instead go in to buy something specific and spend 30 minutes trying to find someone to grab something from the back. Basically, not optimized for browsing or purchasing, everyone gets the worst experience. Even pickup seems worse then it once was, wait in line to talk to the person at the front of the store, they tell you to wait somewhere, then you stand around for a while until an employee finds you.

It all seems to have all been aimed at the goal of removing lines...but standing in lines was a better experience for me. Also bring back the genius bar...

That's 3 more than Ireland has.

Ireland being Apple's European headquarters mind you...

Nearest to Cracow (Kraków) is 465km in Austria 🇦🇹. And we have 0 number of Apple Stores in Poland, because why not.

So I share your pain
Authorized Resellers are good but it’s not the same feeling like being in real Apple Store.

Kind of sounds like either excessive local government bureaucracy and / or lack of due diligence on Apple's part have spoiled Sweden for them.

Ireland being every corporation's European headquarters just like there are a surprising number of companies in the Cayman Islands...

I'm sure Ireland could come up with something that would incentivize them to build stores...

Apple Store Mini

Everyone would love this, but apparently Tim Cook isn't hearing it from customers. He thinks they want bigger stores without pro features.

 

[farmkittie]

The one in Detroit is much anticipated. there are many Apple stores in metro Detroit in the suburbs but not the city itself. Word is it will accupy three storefronts on Woodward Avenue.It will get a lot of business. It will be near Wayne State University and Medical School, many health systems (Henry Ford, DMC, VA, and more), GM, Comerica Park (Tigers), Ford Field (Lions), Little Caesar's Arena (Pistons & Red Wings), Quicken Loans HQ,...and residents.
