Apple has reopened its only store in Vienna, Austria this morning, marking the second retail store outside of Greater China to reopen following Apple’s global Apple Store lockdown in March.
Operating on limited hours for the foreseeable future, Apple Kärntner Straße will be open to facilitate repairs and online pickups, as well as regular in-store shopping. Apple notes online that customers may have to wait outside prior to being allowed into the store, and that protective masks should be used while shopping.
Today at Apple sessions will not be returning to Apple Kärntner Straße until further notice.
Our Apple Store in Austria is open again. With everything that goes with it – products, services and specialists. So that everyone can feel safe, we follow the distance rules. So you may have to wait a bit before you can enter the store. Please also wear a protective mask while shopping. If you need one, ask us.
The reopening follows after Deidre O’Brien, Apple’s vice president of retail and people, announced to employees that “many more” of its retail stores in May.
