Yesterday we talked about the new Apple Store that Apple is building on the campus of the University of Seattle, an Apple Store that will offer a commercial area of just over 6.000 square meters. But apple not only does he plan to open new Apple Stores, but also, if necessary, is forced to close them.
The last Apple Store that will see its doors close is the one in Atlantic City, which was dubbed The Pier. This time it is not due to reforms that the company may have planned, but the main reason is due to the decrease in tourism and visitors to the area where this store is located.
If we look for the contact address and phone number of this Apple Store, a sign will appear on Apple's website where we can read how Apple thanks for the 11 years that the store has been in operation and that On June 30 the Apple Store will close its doors. Mark Gurman, from Bloomberg, announced this news last Friday, but it was not until yesterday Monday when it was officially confirmed through Apple's website.
A company spokesperson said:
Due to the sharp decline in tourism and visitors to the area, we have made the difficult decision not to extend our lease. We are offering all store employees other jobs at Apple and look forward to serving our Greater Atlantic City customers through our other stores in southern New Jersey, the Delaware Valley, and the greater Philadelphia area.
This It is not the only Apple Store that has recently closed, as the Simi Valley store in California has been forced to close for the same reasons.
