Iāve been there. Trust me, you arenāt missing anything. Unless of course you really needed that $75 black turtleneck with micro sized logo or the mug or maybe the silly onesie.
Clearly you didnāt read the article. It was also Appleās headquarters for a long time before it became a store.
Just get in your car and drive. I've been there. It's a magnificent store.
I loved that store. We saw some Apple employees shop there for merch so that was cool and I almost felt like one of the gang. I still use my Apple branded water bottle and got some other apple branded stuff while there but that was before Angela Ahrendts wrecked it with the premium makeover. When I visited it looked very much like it did when in the early apple days with the original Mac icons all over the place. Also, when I visited we thought we saw Steve's black no plate Mercedes in one of the parking spots at Infinite Loop which was as close to seeing him as I ever got but it was a thrill nonetheless. Sad that chapter is now closed. You can't go home again is as true now as it ever was.
Former headquarters doesn't mean much. Steve Job's garage? Now that's interesting.
Damn. Every time I went, it was closed. I was thinking of going back to California next year; guess itāll be gone for good. I did get to peek inside One Infinite Loop and also visited the Apple Park store.
It really doesnāt hurt them to keep this store open, even as a show piece. Itās kind of a historical landmark from the Steve Jobs era.

I visited that store ages ago when a friend worked there and there were no such thing as Apple Stores. At that time, non-employees could not visit without being accompanied by an employee.
Even during the Holidays you can't resist hurling insults at posters who are genuinely saddened that a store that means a great deal to them is closing I see.
You all have 30 days to visit before it closes on Jan. 20, 2024

Itās still a piece of Apple history and the headquarters where some of Appleās most significant products were born. Just because you donāt think itās a historical place doesnāt mean it isnāt.
Also donāt backtrack on your original comment. You clearly didnāt read the article and thought this was just a store closing.
There are a lot of Apple Stores in the South SF Bay where Cupertino is close to. Likely they are closing this store and storage on the ground floor to consolidate and free up some of the older legacy buildings across South De Anza Blvd from them. Recently Apple has been adding lots more larger buildings in Sunnyvale Locations which is the city just north of Cupertino. Example of a recent project from 2 years ago that is now active.

Tech titan Apple will dramatically broaden its Silicon Valley footprint through its lease of six big office buildings in Sunnyvaleās Pathline Park office hub.www.siliconvalley.com
Do they still occupy building on De Anza and Bandley? Some of those buildings have some Apple historical significance. I think one of the buildings on Bandley is where the original Macintosh team was housed.
I used to visit the Infinite Loop Company Store about once a week. It was incredible; such a crazy variety of clothes. Then everything went south in 2015 with a miserable update, making it more like any other Apple Store.
Between 2004 and 2015 when I visited the Company Store frequently, they had an enormous variety of Apple clothing, including for children and even babies (onesies). Around 2015 they stopped offering clothes for kids and babies, among many other things, like sweatshirts, quarter zips, polo shirts, rain jackets, etc. etc. etc.
2015 was very sad for me.
This isn't that big of a deal compared to what happened in 2015; if anything I was surprised it was still open when I read this today.

Saw the store, but it was closed when I came to Cupertino. Wished I had a chance to actually visit it.
Maybe Tim reached line 1,000,000 in Numbers.app?
