Apple Store in Greater San Diego Area to Receive All-New Design

Apple's retail store at The Forum in Carlsbad, California will be receiving an all-new design.

The store will be temporarily closed for renovations starting Wednesday, October 15, according to Apple's website. The location will be updated with a modern design and amenities, with a dedicated Apple Pickup station for online orders likely to be added.

Apple has not indicated when the original store will reopen, but these remodeling projects often take many months to be completed.

In the meantime, Apple will be opening a temporary store in the same plaza in Carlsbad, with a grand opening set for Saturday, October 18, at 10 a.m. local time. Apple says the temporary store will be located "just down to the right" from the original location, with the store's address set to shift from 1923 Calle Barcelona to 1925 Calle Barcelona.

Carlsbad is a coastal city in the County of San Diego. Apple opened its store there in 2008.

This was one of the first Apple Stores. I remember seeing blueprints for The Forum when it was under development, and it had this space listed as "Apple Store." It was before Apple had released information about their plans to open retail stores. About a week after I saw the plans Apple made their first retail store announcement.
Really? Apple's first stores opened in 2001. Apple Carlsbad opened in 2008, and its store number is quite high at R294.

San Diego is awful no one come here
It was gorgeous when I came there in the early 2000s. Had an event at Point Loma University. Beautiful site; beautiful campus. But today, I won't go anywhere in Cali. The local and state governments can't seem to keep the place from bursting into flame, and then there's the denials of violent crime. I'll stay here where it's safe, thank you very much. :cool:
