Apple has opened Apple Pacific Centre, a new Apple Store in Vancouver, Canada, doubling the size of the previous store and offering a two-level shopping experience with a Forum and video wall.
Located at the intersection of West Georgia and Howe streets, Apple Pacific Centre features 32-foot floor-to-ceiling glass panels at the front, with product Avenues throughout the store showcasing iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, AirPods, and more.
Inside, the store boasts a 45-foot grand staircase — one of the tallest in any Apple Store — and 10 magnolia trees sourced from the Pacific Northwest, and a living wall spanning more than 40 feet and featuring 144 species of locally sourced plants.
