Apple will start reopening some US stores next week
Apple is gearing up to open its US stores to customers again, nearly two months after the coronavirus pandemic forced them shut.
The company said Friday that it will reopen some retail outlets next week across four states — Idaho, South Carolina, Alabama and Alaska. Apple (AAPL) did not reveal how many stores will reopen, but it has a total of six stores across the four states. The first store to reopen will be in Boise, Idaho, on Monday.
“We’ve missed our customers and look forward to offering our support,” a company spokesperson said in a statement provided to CNN Business. The news was first reported by CNC.
Apple will primarily focus on its Genius Bar, which provides in-person service and tech support, as more people use its products to stay connected while working from home, the spokesperson added.
