AppleInsider:

As noted on Apple’s Chinese website, the Apple Store in Center 66 will open on Aug. 2, just one week after the company is slated to open another store in Chongqing this weekend. 

While the Chongqing outlet is believed to mirror its sister store in Pudong, with a giant cylindrical glass entryway, the Wuxi branch is a basic mall installation, with the usual trademark floor-to-ceiling glass windows and doors.

The Center 66 location will sport a Genius Bar, workshops, One to One and Joint Venture training, with store hours from 10AM to 10PM daily.

China is an important market for Apple, as its products continue to gain a foothold in China’s expanding market, and continues to play an important part in the company’s plans for future growth.
