Apple’s iconic glass cube retail store on Fifth Avenue in New York City, which is usually open 24/7, will be closed some nights this week.
According to Apple’s website, the store will be closed between the hours of 10 p.m. and 8 a.m. local time starting Wednesday evening until Saturday morning. The store was closed for a short period on Monday.
The closure is to allow for completion of maintenance on the store’s glass cube entrance, a source familiar with the matter told MacRumors.
Apple’s official explanation is “cube preservation.”
Apple Fifth Avenue opened in 2006 and it features a street-level glass cube entrance, which leads to an underground store. The store is a popular spot for appearances by Apple CEO Tim Cook and other company executives for major new product rollouts.
