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's iPhone development roadmap runs several years into the future and the company is continually working with suppliers on several successive iPhone models at the same time, which is why we often get rumored features months ahead of launch. The iPhone 18 series is no different, and we already have a good idea of what to expect for the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.
One thing worth...

Apple Watch owners have been voicing their frustration online over changes to the Workout app that Apple introduced in watchOS 26, with many finding the redesigned interface makes starting exercises difficult and exasperating.
When Apple launched watchOS 26 in September, the Workout app went from large, easily tapped workout tiles to a scrolling, corner-button interface. Instead of tapping a ...
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.....
