About time! The old Trafford centre store looked really tired. It was always really dingy.

The Original Crocker Park store will be open. There's probably a day or two where they'll both be closed, and then the new one will be up and running.
I wasn't disagreeing with anything you said! I could just hear Tim Cook's voice saying it in my head. It was only meant as a light-hearted comment.
And we are still waiting. I suppose it has improved, in 2015, it was a 36 hour round trip to the nearest Apple Store (travel to airport, flight, travel to store, return to airport and wait for next flight back, travel back home), now it is just an 6-8 hour round trip, having to drive half way across the country...
Recently went to the one in Brent Cross, London, has a similar cramped wooden feel as well.

Actually we have 2 Apple Stores in the Cleveland area. Yes I live in Cleveland also, well actually Lakewood which is a suburb just like Westlake is... We actually have an Apple Store at Crocker Park in Westlake on the west side and one at Eton in Woodmere Village on the east side. We also have another about 25-30 minutes south at Summit Mall in Akron.
And anyone who bashes Cleveland is just wrong because we are a great city. I've lived here my whole life and would never leave. The cost of living is among the lowest in the US. The public transit is amazing, you can literally take it anywhere within Cuyahoga County. Where I live, I have 5 bus routes that run about every 15 minutes that will take me to Westlake, Downtown, Fairview Park, North Olmsted or Brookpark.
And if you know anything about history, Cleveland was once a very rich city. Millionaires Row was on Euclid Ave. John D. Rockefeller is literally buried at Lakeview Cemetery off of Mayfield Rd. Same place the former president James Garfield is.
I was up at Crocker Park yesterday trying to figure out where a new one would go, the only places I could think are where Buy Baby used to be across from World Market, or where Hot Chicken Takeover used to be. Unless it's not built yet and it's gonna be next to Regal where Pulpo Beer Co. was, the old Champs. Those are the only larger empty buildings I can think of. Unless it's gonna be part of the new construction of the 11 new stores that was recently announced. What would be really funny is if it went inside American Greetings...

I was waiting for that... Can't you see humour. Of course that is not an actual description of their office in Ireland. Jeez!Try again.

Gotta do something with those trees Ahrendts had put in the Apple Stores during her tenure.
My Dad is originally from Cleveland and all of my relatives on my Dad’s side still live in the Cleveland area - I was just there for Thanksgiving
I’ve been to Cleveland pretty frequently over the last 15 years and have gotten the chance to visit this Crocker Park store with my cousins twice - the outdoor shopping center at Crocker Park is very walkable and well laid out so I’m glad this store is getting its first modernization since 2008
I just saw this MacRumors article recently that mentioned that the Greater Detroit Metropolitan Area has the same number of Apple Stores as the Greater Cleveland Metropolitan Area (three) and Detroit is going to be building their first Apple Store in the downtown part of Detroit:
Apple Announces New Downtown Detroit Store is 'Coming Soon'
Apple today announced that it will soon be opening a new retail store in Downtown Detroit. Apple Downtown Detroit is "coming soon,"...

Considering the population size of Detroit is similar to Cleveland, I really hope that in the near future, Cleveland gets its own Apple Store in the downtown part of the city 🏙️ that would be awesome! I would definitely go to the grand opening of a new Apple Store in the downtown part of Cleveland 🏙️🍎😎 and flights are cheap to Cleveland now that Frontier flies there
Never gonna happen... If I can be blunt, Downtown Cleveland is not what you think. An Apple Store in downtown would be an insurance nightmare (theft). We don't have main stores in downtown. Tower City is undergoing a renovation and has been for 3 years now. Remember we have the Rapid Transit (trains - Red Line, Blue Line & Green Line) running thru the basement of Tower City. The Casino is connected. Once the Cleveland Browns leave downtown for Brookpark, I expect it to create a dribble effect and downtown will go even more downhill.My Dad is originally from Cleveland and all of my relatives on my Dad’s side still live in the Cleveland area - I was just there for Thanksgiving

If it was the 80's when I was a kid, downtown would've been great, with Woolworth's on Euclid, MayCompany, Higbee's (later Dillards). You had the brand new galleria over on East 9th(which closed a few years ago).
Today downtown is mostly being converted to apartments in all these old buildings. But rumor is that Heinen's is gone when their lease is up. They already stopped using the upstairs.
So in being blunt, Apple in downtown Cleveland is like a 0% chance. The suburbs is where the retail is at.
So anyone who is going to the opening this weekend and not sure where the new store is located. The new store is located literally between Barnes & Noble and The Cheesecake Factory. It's in Key Building (the old salon).
