Apple Store in Michigan Permanently Closing Next Month

Earlier this month, MacRumors was first to report that Apple was planning to permanently close its Partridge Creek store, just outside of Detroit, Michigan, and now the company has announced a closure date for the location.

Apple Partridge Creek's final day of business will be Saturday, August 16, with the store set to close for good at 8 p.m. local time that day. All of the store's employees will have the opportunity to continue their roles with Apple, the company said.

Apple added the following notice to the store's page this week:

Thank you, Partridge Creek. Apple Partridge Creek is closing on August 16 at 8pm. We're still here for you. Please visit apple.com/retail to find your nearest store.

The store is located in Clinton Township, a northern suburb of Detroit. It opened in 2007.

The closure comes as Apple prepares to open an all-new store in Downtown Detroit on Woodward Avenue, near Grand River Avenue. In a statement shared with MacRumors earlier this month, Apple said that location will be opening at some point later this year.

Apple Somerset will become the closest store for customers north of Detroit.

Unless you work in downtown Detroit, you aren't going there on a regular basis.

Too bad this is closing. Just next to a community college. The new downtown location will be nice. Great location.

The Somerset store is good. Quite large. That is quite a large mall with lots of visitors.

Apple wants to pay a city tax (nice pay cut for the employees too) while making its customers drive downtown and pay to park in an area with higher crime rates.

Not following the logic.

Honestly though, customers heading to Partridge Creek is unlikely to head to downtown Detroit over to Somerset Collection due to the location.

The Apple Partridge Creek store is fewer than 15 miles from the Detroit city limits. For at least 99% of the people, that is just outside of Detroit. (I have deep sympathy for the MacRumors writers, when I see what people want to quibble about.)

The Partridge Creek Mall is located along Hall Road, which is one of the most heavily traveled roads in the Detroit area. The area is known as a “retail mecca” and has been dubbed “the golden corridor.” I’ve been to the Apple Partridge Creek store frequently, and it is usually busy. Thus, I don’t think there was a problem with traffic at this store. I think the mall owner raised the rent on Apple too much, and Apple told them to take a hike. I hope Apple opens another location in the area, as the Somerset location is a pain to get into and out of.

I doubt the Detroit location will be a success. Not only is parking a problem, as mentioned, but I think many people will be separated from their purchases before they get back to their car.
I live in the immediate area and greg's assessment is spot on. The Partridge Creek store is very busy at all hours and lines are huge with new product releases. From a customer perspective, this MAKES NO SENSE. It has to be financial as the PC mall grows and rents increase.

The aforementioned new "Detroit" store is of zero interest to most suburbs in Metro Detroit and the Somerset location is a PITA to park and get in and out of.

I am typically a fan boy but this is a REALLY dumb decision on the surface.
