Angela Ahrendts, Senior Vice President of Retail at Apple, has today shared a teaser of Apple’s new Dubai Mall retail store, tweeting images of the construction facade. As of yet, Apple hasn’t shared any information regarding the actual grand unveiling of the store however it’s likely that construction is in the final stages.
The new retail location which will be Apple’s third Apple Store in the UAE since late 2015 will be in a very high traffic area with 92 million visitors reported in 2015. Reports claim that the store will have unusually long opening hours, serving customers from 10am to 11pm most days, apart from Friday, Saturday and Sunday when the store will close at midnight, matching other stores within the mall.
The construction facade showcases 35 local enterprises on a mural wall that “tells the story of the creative community from start-ups, independent art galleries and local app developers, to boutiques, cafes and food trucks we all know and love”, Apple said.
