Two Apple Stores Permanently Closing Tomorrow

As previously announced, this Saturday will be the final day of business for Apple Bristol in Bristol, England and Apple Parkland in Dalian, China.

Both of the stores will be permanently closing tomorrow, for landlord-related reasons. Apple Bristol is closing due to the landlord's redevelopment plans at the Cabot Circus Shopping Centre, and the adjacent Bristol Shopping Quarter, while Apple Parkland is closing because the mall faced financial struggles and lost many major retailers.

Apple Bristol and Apple Parkland will both open at 10 a.m. local time tomorrow. In Bristol, the doors will close for good at 5 p.m. local time, while customers in Dalian will have until 8 p.m. local time to visit one final time.

While it is a shame that Apple is leaving central Bristol, customers with a means of transportation can still visit Apple Cribbs Causeway on the outskirts of the city. Likewise, Apple will continue to operate its Olympia 66 store in Dalian.

In addition, Apple will be temporarily closing its store at The Forum Shops in Caesars Palace following business hours this Saturday, for behind-the-scenes renovations. Apple says the store will re-open on August 31. During the closure, customers can visit Apple's nearby Fashion Show store, which is also on the Las Vegas Strip.

On the bright side, customers in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania are getting an all-new Apple Shadyside on Walnut Street tomorrow, with the new location set to hold its grand opening at 10 a.m. local time. The new store is located at 5436 Walnut Street, just west of Bellefonte Street, in a two-floor unit that was previously occupied by clothing brand Gap. The new store is much larger than the original, and it has a modern design.

Closing Apple Stores seems to be a trend lately or are you just covering it more now @Joe Rossignol ?

Downtown Toronto badly needs another Apple Store, preferably not in a mall, but if Apple is pulling back on retail, that may not happen.
Hey Pedro,

Definitely a higher-than-usual number of permanent Apple Store closures this year.

Permanently Closed/Permanently Closing in 2025:

* Apple Northbrook Court in Northbrook, Illinois on April 26
* Apple Bristol in Bristol, England on August 9
* Apple Parkland in Dalian, China on August 9
* Apple Partridge Creek in Clinton Township, Michigan on August 16
* Apple Hornsby in Hornsby, Australia in October

Partridge Creek is effectively being replaced by Downtown Detroit, but the other 4 out of 5 of those permanent closures do not have a replacement store within the same city/metro area.

But you are also right that I have started covering Apple Store news more often again, to fill the void left by Michael Steeber no longer publishing his Tabletops newsletter.

Somehow, I'd not realised that Tabletops had stopped being published. It was a great resource.

Glad to know that you've taken up the baton, @Joe Rossignol! I would love to read even more store-focussed posts here, particularly if they can approach the level of detail Michael Steeber provided. The materials, architecture and merchandising aspects of Apple are fascinating.
The thing is that Apple Stores were Steeber's entire focus, and something he was extremely passionate about on a personal level.

Also, overall interest in Apple Store news is relatively low compared to some other Apple-related topics, according to our internal metrics.

So, I don't think my coverage will ever come close to his, truthfully.

I still think basic coverage of Apple Store openings and closures is important, as many blogs no longer cover that sort of thing beyond the big flagship ones with very unique designs.

I wonder if they are going to have a clearance sale ?

Knowing Apple, it's a 0% off sale :).

Yeah Apple isn’t pulling back on retail, brick and mortar retail has been on a steep decline since COVID lockdowns changed the way we shop. This is just yet another symptom of that shift.

While the decline is real, Apple has consistantly been the top retailer in sales per sqft, often doubling that of #2. No doubt Apple will shutter some stores as sales decline at that store, but so far Apple has managed to avoid the sharp decline other stores have experienced. No doubt the iPhone's popularity is a big driver of that performance.
