An Apple Store is on the Move in the UK

A new Apple Store will be opening March 1 at the Trafford Centre shopping mall outside of Manchester, in the United Kingdom.

Apple Launch Logo
Apple's existing store at the mall will be permanently closed starting February 27.

Apple has not shared photos or details about the new Trafford Centre store, but you can expect a modern design that will likely include an Apple Pickup station for in-store pickup of orders that customers have placed on Apple's online store.

Apple Trafford Centre originally opened in 2005.

In other store news, Apple recently opened a new store in Miami, and it says another store in Downtown Detroit is coming soon.

Eek! My main/prefered Apple Store - helps that it is open late and The Trafford Centre has free parking (at least for the moment...). Doesn't seem two minutes since the store was half the size/width it is now at the present location and a Subway had opened up next door.

Anyone know where abouts in the TC the store is moving to? Hopefully not too far from the Pret & Yo Sushi in the upper floor of Selfridges.
It's moving about 50 meters away. To the right if you are looking from the front. On the same level.

Outside Manchester not outside of. Either way, UK Plc will know. Is there an icloud alternative based in Switzerland??

Sounds like Apple thinks they can defeat the UK's attempt to force Apple into giving them a back door to snoop on iPhone users there (and everywhere).
I'm not sure that moving their store to a new unit 50 meters away is going to achieve that

Maybe they got kicked out of their encrypted unit in the Trafford Centre and had to move into GCHQ ;)
