Apple is Permanently Closing Three U.S. Stores in June
MacRumors • • technology
Key Points:
- Apple announced the permanent closure of three U.S. retail stores in June: Apple Trumbull in Connecticut, Apple North County in California, and Apple Towson Town Center in Maryland, all located in struggling shopping malls.
- The closures follow declining conditions at these malls and the departure of several major retailers, with Apple citing a need to better meet customer needs and invest in stronger retail locations worldwide.
- Employees at the Trumbull and North County stores will be reassigned to nearby Apple stores, while Towson employees, who recently unionized, can apply for other Apple roles under their collective bargaining agreement.
- Despite these closures, Apple has opened 11 new stores globally since early 2025 and continues to remodel or replace existing stores in major cities, reflecting ongoing investment in retail.
- Apple recently achieved an all-time revenue record, indicating the store closures are a strategic decision unrelated to overall company performance.
