Apple's retail store at The Forum in Carlsbad, California will be receiving an all-new design.

The store will be temporarily closed for renovations starting Wednesday, October 15, according to Apple's website. The location will be updated with a modern design and amenities, with a dedicated Apple Pickup station for online orders likely to be added.

Apple has not indicated when the original store will reopen, but these remodeling projects often take many months to be completed.

In the meantime, Apple will be opening a temporary store in the same plaza in Carlsbad, with a grand opening set for Saturday, October 18, at 10 a.m. local time. Apple says the temporary store will be located "just down to the right" from the original location, with the store's address set to shift from 1923 Calle Barcelona to 1925 Calle Barcelona.

Carlsbad is a coastal city in the County of San Diego. Apple opened its store there in 2008.

This was one of the first Apple Stores. I remember seeing blueprints for The Forum when it was under development, and it had this space listed as "Apple Store." It was before Apple had released information about their plans to open retail stores. About a week after I saw the plans Apple made their first retail store announcement.

Really? Apple's first stores opened in 2001. Apple Carlsbad opened in 2008, and its store number is quite high at R294.

Maybe you are thinking of Fashion Valley. It opened in 2001, which is the debut year of Apple Stores. Carlsbad opened 7 years later.
 
If you Google “Greater San Diego” there are a ton of governmental and private organizations that use the term.
Which part of "Greater San Diego" do you currently live in? I've lived here my whole life, and no one who lives here refers to Carlsbad/Encinitas as "Greater San Diego". It's like someone who doesn't live here arguing with me that no one says "SoCAL". :D

You’re right. But I remember seeing the plans in 2000 with the store labeled. I was a huge Apple fan so seeing the shop labeled was a big deal. Of course back then it took years for a project like The Forum to get through the approval process and finally get constructed.

I’ve lived in the city of San Diego (PQ and downtown) my entire life (nearly 50 years). The term Greater San Diego doesn’t sound strange at all, and I’ve definitely heard the term used to describe the county.

“Which Cities are in the Greater San Diego Area?”


“The San Diego Metropolitan Area, also known as Greater San Diego and officially the San Diego-Carlsbad-San Marcos Metropolitan Statistical Area, is a metropolitan area on the United States Pacific Coast.”


“The Carlsbad Redevelopment Projects will create new opportunities for affordable housing, work and leisure activities that provide job opportunities and new tax revenue, reduce automobile reliance, and maximize North County’s access to the greater San Diego area through a large and diverse public transportation network.”

San Diego is awful no one come here
It was gorgeous when I came there in the early 2000s. Had an event at Point Loma University. Beautiful site; beautiful campus. But today, I won't go anywhere in Cali. The local and state governments can't seem to keep the place from bursting into flame, and then there's the denials of violent crime. I'll stay here where it's safe, thank you very much. :cool:
