Apple Store in Southeastern U.S. Relocating Later This Week

[MacRumors]

Apple recently announced that its retail store at the Bridge Street Town Centre in Huntsville, Alabama will be opening in a new location within the outdoor shopping complex on Saturday, August 31, at 10 a.m. local time.

The original Apple Bridge Street​

As noted in Michael Steeber's weekly newsletter about Apple retail, the new store will be located just a few units down from Apple's existing store at Bridge Street Town Centre, next to Athleta. The new location will be significantly larger and have a more modern design compared to the original, which first opened its doors back in 2008.

This will be Apple's first new store opening around the world since the company opened its first store in Malaysia in late June.

“Southeastern US”? Huntsville isn’t a tiny obscure city, they have over 200k people and are one of the fastest growing cities in the US lol

How to tell if an article isn't written by an American:
They say Alabama is "southeastern US"

Bridge Street, a dying mall, is now officially dead.

You obviously didn't read the content.. It's moving a few units away from the current storefront.

Have you been to Bridge Street? Hardly dying. Heck, a more traditional mall across town, Parkway Place seems to be doing just fine as well.

I worked there for a year and a half soon after it opened. I thought it was too small then, I'm glad to see they are moving into a larger space!

Haha, no kidding! I lived in Birmingham for several years until 2019, and never heard anyone refer to anywhere in the state as southeastern.

Since when is Alabama not in the southeast?

 

[WarmWinterHat]

Since when is Alabama not in the southeast?

It's considered the south, or deep south. The Carolinas, Virginia, Florida, those are southeastern.

I think its considered the deep south. However, to be fair, both major universities in the state, Alabama and Auburn, are athletic members of the SEC (Southeastern Conference).

I was curious what could possibly be in the comments on this thread— ah.

The title of this article leaves a lot to be desired, lol.

All I know about the city is from the reality show love and Huntsville. My family is originally from Alabama and I used to spend every summer down there my sister even went to Alabama state university. Still all I know about this city is from the tv show lol

So is Oklahoma.

Who is moving to Alabama? Honest question.

 

[WarmWinterHat]

So is Oklahoma.

As is University of Kentucky.

Who is moving to Alabama? Honest question.

Huntsville has one of the highest percentages of PhDs of any city in the US. The Marshall Space Flight Center is there along with a ton of private space and propulsion research companies. A lot of science research there, in general, too. Tons of jobs available, and lots of people moving in.

I moved to Birmingham in 2014 for a pharamcy position and loved it. It's a blueberry in the tomato soup, as is Huntsville. The state has some amazing parks, swamps, trails, hiking, caving, wildlife, etc. I didn't care for the heat, though, and ended up moving north.

 

[LawJolla]

The Tucson store is being redone in a similar manner.

 

[mrhansolo]

So is Oklahoma.

Yeah, I said that tongue-in-cheek since Texas and Oklahoma joined this year.

 

[dannyyankou]

Who is moving to Alabama? Honest question.

People lol. Huntsville’s population grew 39% between 2000 and 2022. The state’s population as a whole has had steady population growth the past century.

 

[mrhansolo]

Look into Huntsville a little bit. https://www.forbes.com/sites/rebeccadeurlein/2023/04/27/huntsville-alabama-more-than-rocket-science/

Eh, it's the 113th largest metropolitan area by population accrording to the 2020 census. Not exactly a large city. And yes, I have been before.

People can afford an iPhone in AL? 😂😂😂 Seriously, that's great.

Huntsville in N AL, population 250k. Tallahassee FL population near 400k; 2 well known universities, state capital, and NO APPLE STORE.

As is University of Kentucky.

No knock on AL but Tallahassee sure deserves Apple Store. Quoting myself… Tallahassee FL population near 400k; 2 well known universities, state capital, and NO APPLE STORE.
