Apple Store in Simi Valley Permanently Closing Later This Month [Updated]

It’s in a mall, so no the building has not been torn down. I have not been to the mall since the store closed, but I’m willing to bet large sums of money that store is empty. There are dozens of empty stores there.

Interesting. Thanks. So you haven't heard Apple demolishing one of their previous buildings? I heard some vague information that Apple is soon to or has previously torn down an 11 year old building that it closed. Trying to work out whether it's fact or fiction.

Almost every single Apple Store is in a mall, thus there is no building to tear down. Only a few are stand alone locations and I have never heard of one being demolished.

I'm interested in learning more about the Apple Chicago flagship store history.

1 -- Does anyone know what the area was exactly before the Apple Chicago flagship store was built? I seem to have heard it was an abandoned car park or it was an old shopping centre that was pulled down. I've tried to verify this looking at Google maps but can't seem to find anything.

2 -- Also, how did Apple come to claim that part of Chicago for its store? Did it go through a public process with the local authorities and people?

3 -- Finally, why did Apple decide to open a flagship store there exactly? Why not just a regular Apple store?

Thanks for all the assistance on the historical aspects. It would be great if there was a wiki created for this kind of interesting detail.

they don’t demolish the store, But they deface anything that could be linked to apple. They stain the stone floors, and mark up everything with black paint and markers. Including restroom circle signs. They don’t leave any “souvenirs”.

Sure, but I wasn’t able to offer an answer until now.
