Apple Retail Stores Turn 10 Today
Today marks the 10th anniversary of Apple retail stores. Apple launched its first retail operation by opening its first retail stores in Glendale, California and McLean, Virginia. Since then the company has opened its stores at 300 locations in 11 countries and yielded near $10 Billions in annual revenue.
Apple is expected to unveil new store design and possibly new products. The celebrations seems to start only this weekend.
The retails stores were designed to showcase user experience for digital lifestyle as Apple sees it. Despite the popularity of its online store, iTunes App, Media store and the latest Mac App store, we believe the stores have greatly contributed to Apple success by bringing technology to the hands of mainstream users. Many successful products were showcased such the iPod, iPhone, iMac and the latest iPads…
The stores feature modern design, clean, bright, all products & accessories are well selected, available in working condition for hand-on. The stores are staffed with dynamic, fun, helpful employees.
Apple retails stores succeed where many other similar attempts failed from Gateway, Dell, etc.. Recently Microsoft also started to open a limited number of its retails store, strategically located near Apple stores in popular shopping malls across the nation,
