If you live in one of three U.S. cities, it may take a bit of a search to find your favorite Apple retail store. Apple is relocating three of its stores this coming weekend.
Apple this week announced that its La Encantada retail store in Tucson, Arizona will be moving to a temporary location that is scheduled to open Saturday, November 9 at 10 a.m. local time. The temporary store will be located on the second level of the outdoor shopping center, adjacent to the stairs and escalator leading to that level.
Apple is likely making the temporary move to allow it to renovate its original La Encantada location while offering its services and merchandise at the temporary location While the company did not confirm that is the reason for the temporary relocating, the store there first opened in 2004, making its interior decor a bit passé.
Apple is also relocating its store in Fairfax, Virginia as well as a temporary location at Roosevelt Field on Long Island in New York. Both of those store will open on November 9 as well.
In Virginia, Apple is leaving the Fair Oaks shopping mall in Fairfax County, but its moving literally across the road from its current location. Apple’s website invites customers in the area to visit its new location “soon” at 4221 Fairfax Corner East Avenue, in the Fairfax Corner shopping plaza that is just across the Interstate 66 from the Fair Oaks mall.
Apple opened its original Fair Oaks store in 2008.
In Long Island, Apple is opening a temporary store at Roosevelt Field, which is the largest shopping mall on Long Island, to allow it to renovate its existing store in the mall. The temporary store will be located in the west side of the mall, on the main level.
Apple opened its Roosevelt Field location in 2002, and it us now one of 23 stores scattered around New York state.
