GoKawiilApple is permanently closing three stores in the United States later today. The company first announced the closures in April, impacting locations in Connecticut, Maryland, and California. Here’s the full list.
Which Apple Stores are closing today?
Here are the three Apple Store locations closing today:
Apple Towson Town Center in Towson, Maryland is closing its doors on June 20 at 8 p.m.
Apple North County in Escondido, California is closing its doors on June 20 at 9 p.m.
Apple Trumbull in Trumbull, Connecticut is closing its doors on June 20 at 9 p.m
Why is Apple closing these stores?
In a statement to 9to5Mac in April, Apple attributed the closures to “the departure of several retailers and declining conditions” at the malls in which the three 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.

For example, Trumbull Mall recently defaulted on over $150 million in loans as it faces ongoing struggles and business closures. Towson Town Center, just outside of Baltimore, has lost multiple businesses so far this year, including Tommy Bahama, Banana Republic, and Madewell.
