Apple reopening Covent Garden Apple Store in London on Friday, October 26th
Apple has announced it will be reopening its flagship Covent Garden Apple Store in London following a full refurbishment and store redesign on Friday, October 26th, coinciding with the in-store release of the iPhone XR.
The upscale Covent Garden location, which once was the tech giants largest Apple Store closed its doors in June, alongside the temporary closure of its Wangfujing store in Beijing.
Apple has kept the store under-wraps since it closed however, the renovated location will most likely echo the design ascetic of Apple’s new “next generation” retail store design found at it’s central London Regent Street store and multiple other locations across the world. Designed by Apple’s British-born Chief Design Officer Sir Jonathan Ive, the new Covent Garden Apple Store is expected to feature bright light boxes which extend the length of the ceiling, large in-door trees, sequoia wood tables and shelves along the walls and new seating for personal set-up and Genius Bar customers.
As with all of Apple’s global operations, including retail stores, offices, data centres, and more, Apple Covent Garden will run on 100% renewable energy.
