Apple closing these US stores
In a statement to MacRumors, Apple confirmed it is closing the following retail stores:
In the statement, Apple attributed the closures to “the departure of several retailers and declining conditions” at the malls in which the aforementioned stores are located.
At Apple, we are constantly striving to deliver exceptional service and great experiences for our customers. As we continue investing to expand and enhance our retail stores and offerings worldwide, we remain deliberate about evaluating our existing locations to ensure that we can meet our customers’ needs in the best way. Following the departure of several retailers and declining conditions at Trumbull Mall, the Shops at North County, and Towson Town Center, we’ve made the difficult decision to close our stores at these locations.
The stores are set to close in June, Apple says. All three are listed as “temporarily closed today” on their respective pages on Apple’s website, but are scheduled to re-open tomorrow before permanently closing.
