These Two Apple Stores in U.S. Are Getting Revamped
A pair of Apple Store locations in Florida and Texas are getting makeovers.
Last month, Apple closed its store at The Galleria shopping mall in Fort Lauderdale, and opened a temporary location across the hall from it. The original store is undergoing renovations and will eventually reopen with a modernized design.
Similarly, Apple will be closing its store at the Baybrook Mall in the Houston suburb of Friendswood. A temporary store will be located "just around the corner to the right" of the original store, which will be receiving renovations.
There is no timeframe for when the renovations will be completed at these stores.
Meanwhile, Apple recently announced that it will be opening an all-new store at the Miami Worldcenter complex on Friday, January 24.
