Apple recently shared photos of its revamped store at Trafford Centre, a shopping mall located outside of Manchester in the United Kingdom.
The store features Apple's latest retail design, with lots of wood paneling.
There is a combined Genius Bar and Apple Pickup station with counters set at varied heights for improved accessibility, a seating area for customers to demo the Apple Vision Pro, a large screen on the rear wall, and more.
Apple's original store at Trafford Centre opened in 2005. Its replacement opened March 1.
As spotted by designer Filip Chudzinski, Apple recently announced that it will be opening another all-new store at Crocker Park, an outdoor shopping center in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. Apple has yet to share an exact grand opening date.
"Get ready," the Crocker Park store page says. "Great things are in store. A brand-new Apple Store is coming soon."
You can expect Apple's new Crocker Park store to be larger and more modern than its original store at the shopping center, which first opened in 2008.

Apple is preparing a "bold" new iPhone Pro model for the iPhone's 20th anniversary in 2027, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. As part of what's being described as a "major shake-up," Apple is said to be developing a design that makes more extensive use of glass – and this could point directly to the display itself.

Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone (or "iPhone Fold") will feature two screens as part of its book-style design, and a Chinese leaker claims to know the resolutions for both of them.
According to the Weibo-based account Digital Chat Station, the inner display, which is approximately 7.76 inches, will use a 2,713 x 1,920 resolution and feature "under-screen camera technology." Meanwhile, the...
A common complaint about the iPad Pro is that the iPadOS software platform fails to fully take advantage of the device's powerful hardware.
That could soon change.

Apple in October 2024 overhauled its 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models, adding M4, M4 Pro, and M4 Max chips, Thunderbolt 5 ports on higher-end models, display changes, and more. That's quite a lot of updates in one go, but if you think this means a further major refresh for the MacBook Pro is now several years away, think again.
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has said he expects only a small...
Rumours are UK stores will soon have state-of-the-art security at the front to prevent theft, with round-the-clock cameras overseeing the front and sides of the store, with highly trained teams complete with dogs and nets, all covering 3 directions.
But at the back, a broken old wooden door that is barely on its hinges, just for the government, just in case they decide they need to gain entry to leave their stuff before going on a fishing trip, so that’s nice. It’ll have a sign on it saying ‘government only, so keep out’, so it’s not any kind of risk.
And Ireland, Apple's EU headquarters, is still waiting for one.
I'm imagining that to be a small unoccupied office space above a chip shop, with a huge pile of mail on the door mat, none of which will be tax demands. On the glass panel in the door will be one of those free Apple product stickers, and someone will have written EU HQ. In the far corner there's a desk with an old PC, an empty in tray and a broken mug.
As a person who lives in Cleveland, I have to agree. There's really nothing going for Cleveland right now.
At least we're not Detroit. We're not Detroit!
Also, live in Cleveland area and you sound like you are not hanging out in the correct areas of Cleveland. There is literally something for everyone somewhere in the Cleveland/northeastern Ohio area. On a different note is the Crocker Park store closed or are they moving to a different part of Crocker Park?
I will admit, there must be something very different about how my brain works compared to many other people.
I want a product to be great that I buy, I also want to get good value for my money. I see a store, like a fancy Apple store in a Fancy location and the only thought in my mind is a negative one. I look at it, and think of how much extra the products cost to be able to pay for all of this.
If my Apple product, came in a plain brown box, and sold from a steel warehouse with pallets full of the products I'd be way more happier.
Then again i feel the same way about "Designer cloths and Jewellery stores" trying to fool the public who know no better. Cut 18" of a machine made 100ft spool of gold chain, lay it in a window on some blue cloth, with some glass crystals and pretty lighting to make customers feel special with some cheap window dressing.
I really do struggle to understand how the minds of people work who fall for all of this. Millions do I know.....
