As planned, Apple opened, last Saturday (12/14), its 10th and newest store in Japan – at Shopping Lazona, in Kawasaki. The opening, however, attracted dozens (if not hundreds) of people at the site, with Apple having to organize a line so that all visitors could access the store.
The Apple Kawasaki design is simple yet modern. The store is located in a courtyard area of ​​the mall, which allowed the company to install a glass and stone structure at the front, where its logo is. Inside, the store offers ample space for shopping and Today at Apple, in addition to having a Video Wall.

Earlier this month, we announced that another Apple store would also be (re) opened: the Apple Eaton Center. On the same day of the opening in Japan, customers of the company on the other side of the world (in this case, in the west) also celebrated the new Apple Store in one of the largest shopping centers in the world.
To reopen the Apple Eaton Center, Apple closed its old unit in the same location, but for a great reason: it is now almost twice the size of the old location and has all of the company’s new design features, including new displays display, the Forum is Video Wall.

Finally, Apple officially announced the arrival of a new store in the newly opened shopping center The SoNo Collection, the first in the city of Norwalk – as reported by The Hour. The new complex allowed Apple to invest in a store in the region, as the nearest Apple Stores are located in Stamford and Greenwich – all still have the company’s old retail design.
The announcement, however, was already expected: some rumors about the opening of a new Apple store in the region began circulating last July, even before the mall opened. The new Apple store will be located on the first floor of the complex, next to the new Nordstrom unit.
There is still no information on when the new store will open, but Apple will certainly release more details in the coming months.
