Apple’s new Chicago retail store will look like a huge MacBook from the sky
As discovered by DNAInfo, the roof of Apple’s new Chicago retail store will closely resemble a huge MacBook from the sky, with reports showing Apple has differed from their original renderings to personalise the store to match their line of MacBook computers.
“The Apple logo is a new addition that wasn’t revealed when renderings of the new store were shared in 2015. The electronics giant is moving its flagship Chicago store from 679 N. Michigan Ave. to the north bank of the Chicago River, a development real estate observers say marks a shift in the Mag Mile’s center of retail gravity.”
“Our store on North Michigan Avenue has welcomed more than 23 million customers since it opened in 2003 and we’re now creating something even more remarkable for Chicago,” Nick Leahy, an Apple spokesman, told DNAinfo in 2015.
It’s been reported that Apple has spent $27 million on new seamless floor-to-ceiling glass walls that when completed will be as iconic as the glass cube on Apple’s New York’s Fifth Avenue store. – No date has been given for the launch of this exquisite retail location however it’s expected the store will open in October or early November in time for the holiday shopping season.
