China’s first Apple store in time for the Olympics
Posted on by Jason Li
Apple has disclosed that their first store in China will be in Beijing, scheduled to open in time for the 2008 Olympics.
It will be located on the to-be-renovated Qianmen Street, which, according to TUAW, will be “the city’s second pedestrian-only shopping street and it’s reported
that Apple will be forgoing it’s well-established storefront in favor
of a design that will blend with the Chinese architecture surrounding
it.”
