Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know that Apple sent out an email to Southern California users saying that their South Coast Plaza location in Costa Mesa is moving. Their official website says they’re closed until the weekend at their temporary spot.

I haven’t seen any articles about it on MR or any Apple Store-related news yet, so I thought I’d share this tip with you!

I got that email too. Trying to find if their “new” store or “remodeled” store may re-open on iPhone Launch day.

Oh, I totally get it! MacRumors has been buzzing with Apple Store news, and guess what? They didn’t even realise about it! They did mention a few USA stores being closed or remodeled this year, like the Caesars Palace Forum Shops, which I’ve actually been to. But, sadly, they didn’t mention the Costa Mesa one.

The Vegas Apple Store in Forum Shops that MacRumors covered last month didn’t get remodeled at all. It’s probably just closed temporarily because they don’t have enough staff or other unknown reason .

Apple Store remodels usually take months, so they have to open a temporary location if it takes a while, like the 5th Avenue New York store.

Thanks @goldmac2006. Sometimes we just miss things! Apple finally added a notice to the store's page tonight, leading me to find your thread now. I linked to it on the front page.
Hey there! 👍 Thanks a bunch! I really appreciate it!

I was just browsing the Apple Store roundup/category on the MR website, and guess what? Last week, Apple sent me an email about the Costa Mesa location getting a makeover and moving around for a bit. They reopened last weekend on Saturday, and the website mentioned their temporary location now down the hall from their old spot.

Here’s the link: https://www.apple.com/retail/southcoastplaza/

Usually, Apple emails folks about Apple Store openings, closings, moves, and reopenings in their area/state, all based on their permanent address under their Apple ID or Apple Store purchase/genius bar history. For example, Apple users in SoCal get emails whenever an Apple Store opens, moves, or closes down in the greater Los Angeles area.

Last year I did also get emails about the Del Amo store opening too, weeks before the grand opening on iPhone 16 pro launch day. But didn’t get to see it
