History

The Apple Store concept was developed by Ron Johnson who had joined Apple Computer in 2001 after leaving Target, where he was previously the Vice President of Merchandising. [1] Johnson worked closely with Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, who had a hands-on role in the design. [2] The first Apple retail store was opened on May 19, 2001 at Tysons Corner Center in McLean, Virginia. Flagship stores were opened in New York City , Los Angeles, Chicago and San Francisco. Apple was awarded numerous architectural awards for its store design, particularly its SoHo location. By February 2003, Apple opened 76 retail stores in the United States. In 2004, Apple began opening «mini stores» under 2000 square feet as retail space became difficult to find at the rapid rate of Apple’s expansion. [3] By 2011, over 200 stores had been opened. [1]

Steve Jobs visits the Apple Store in Palo Alto for iPhone launch

Openings of new stores have turned into social happenings among avid Mac and iPhone users. The events often attract thousands of customers, waiting in line to get in first. Apple co-founder Steve Jobs was known to personally visit the Palo Alto store near his home. [4]

International expansion

The first interational store was opened in the Ginza district of Tokyo , Japan on November 30, 2003. The first store in Europe opened in London, UK on Regent Street at 10am on November 20, 2004. Stores across Asia, particularly China, have become substantial revenue generators for Apple. By February 2015, Apple had phased out all of its smaller stores as more desirable locations became available. [5] By 2018, 84 stores had relocated and only 2 locations were closed without a direct replacement. [6] By 2020, Apple had 510 store locations. [7]

On February 25, 2021, Target announced that it would begin opening Apple store-within-a-store experiences at 17 of their locations, with more coming in the fall. [8]

COVID-19 pandemic

In February 2020, Apple closed their retail stores in China in response to the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus. [9] Apple soon closed all of their store locations worldwide. [10] [11]

Apple Store reopens in Seoul, South Korea on April 18, 2020.

All 42 retail stores in China were reopened on March 13, 2020 as the outbreak in China was stated to be under control. [9] This was followed by the reopening of Apple’s store in Seoul, South Korea on April 18, with limited hours and an emphasis on repair appointments. [12] Stores in Australia reopened on May 7, with requirements of face masks, social distancing, and temperature checks of customers. [13] Other stores around the world, including the United States, [14] began reopening on a rolling basis in May, based on local conditions and guidelines. [15] By the end of the month, half of all Apple Stores worldwide had reopened. [16] However, future product launch dates may be affected due to disruptions in Apple’s manufacturing supply chain. [17]

On the early morning of April 17 in California, Apple’s retail store closure page due to the COVID-19 pandemic was briefly redirected to the pre-order page of the newly announced 2nd generation iPhone SE. [18] However, this was quickly reverted after the pre-orders became active. [19]

The Apple Store in Portland, Oregon was boarded up and covered with a mural.

George Floyd protests

On May 30, 2020, stores in the United States were looted in the wake of nationwide protests over the death of George Floyd. [20] Damaged stores were closed for repairs, and high-risk locations were pre-emptively boarded up. [21] Some boarded-up stores were decorated with murals and became gathering places for Black Lives Matter marches. [22] [23]

Portland rioters torch Apple store as another police killing sparks wave of destruction (VIDEOS)

Another night, another riot. Protesters assembled on Friday afternoon in Lents Park, where police had shot a man dead hours earlier. The man, who local media identified as “white” to ward off any potential “social unrest,” was carrying a replica firearm when he was killed.

“Social unrest” soon broke out anyway. Black-clad ‘Antifa’ protesters smashed the windows of banks, restaurants and a church, and spray-painted “no more history” on the shattered windows of the Oregon Historical Society. An Apple store was torched, and burned for ten minutes before firefighters could get the blaze under control. No injuries were reported by police.

The vandals also lit fires in dumpsters and portable toilets, and police eventually declared the chaos a riot and broke it up.

Such scenes are commonplace in Portland. Last summer saw 100 straight nights of violence following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with rioters in Portland focusing their anger on the city’s courthouse and other official buildings, although small businesses also suffered immensely.

The unrest continued sporadically through the winter and into spring, and Portland’s police union office was set on fire on Tuesday night, this time in response to the killing of Duante Wright in a botched arrest in Minneapolis.

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler was criticized last year for not cracking down hard enough on the rioting, and for rebuffing then-president Donald Trump’s offer of federal help. However, he has since changed tack. Declaring that the public were “sick and tired” of the near-nightly chaos, he promised in February that the city would be “fighting back with everything we’ve got.”

Wheeler told a Police Commission meeting last week that investigations into the rioting were ongoing.
