The store will also be offering a wide range of workshops and a number of youth-orientated programmes.
The building is a grade-II listed Victorian version of a 17th-century piazza. Features include a glass staircases a courtyard under a glass roof and exposed brick work. It is split over 3 levels and there is a lot of space. This has allowed apple to have separate rooms dedicated to Macs, iPhone 4s and iPads. They have dedicated the entire second floor to third-party accessories and add-ons for Apple products. There is also the much loved Genius Bar in store for free technical support and it is one of the longest seen. It looks truly stunning and Apple are saying that is, “the best store we have ever created”.
The store is Apple’s 300th and will open Saturday 7th August, 10am and if you are one of the first 4,000 people through the door you will get a special t-shirt. Will you be going?
