Apple has announced the opening of the first official Apple Store in the Macau Special Administrative Region of China is set for June 25. The new location will expand the iPhone maker’s retail presence in Greater China to 41 stores.
Apple’s website for Macau, notes the new Apple Store will be located in an upscale shopping mall at the Galaxy Macau resort. Macau is a peninsular special administrative region traditionally counted as part of Greater China. The area is referred to as the “Las Vegas of Asia,” due to its spectacular resorts, casinos and entertainments options.
AppleInsider notes the Macau location will include the usual sales floor, space for workshops, and of course, the requisite Genius bar. The outlet will open its doors on Saturday, June 25, at 10AM local time. Its hours will be 10AM to 10PM Monday through Thursday, and Sunday, and 10AM to 11:59PM on Friday and Saturday.
Apple has begun taking reservations for classes, the first of which takes place on June 26. That date, a Sunday, will see sessions covering both Apple hardware and software. Customers can sign up for the classes via the Macau store’s website.
Apple’s international expansion continues, with plans to expand in markets such as China, India, and Mexico. Apple had set its sights on having 40 new Apple Stores in China by mid-2016. The Macau location, along with stores in Shanghai and Tianjin, which begin operations later this month, will put them over the top.
