A new Apple Store has opened in Wuhan, China and its the company’s first retail store in the Hubei province. This location aims to connect locals with Apple team members, while giving them the ability to participate in courses as well as discover other products and services. Plus, it’s the first Apple Store in China to offer a dedicated pickup area for products ordered online.
Some courses offered for customers include photography, videography, art, design, music, and even programming. Aesthetically, the store features granite floors and wood-trimmed walls to give it a bright, transparent look. Apple Wuhan marks the company’s 54th Apple Store in Greater China and the full 128-person retail team working are able to communicate in multiple languages, including Chinese / English sign language. Speaking of aesthetics, this prefab home was designed by Apple’s director of Store design.
We couldn’t be more excited to open our first Apple Store in Hubei Province. Our highly specialized team of Specialist experts is looking forward to welcoming customers from this vibrant community starting this Saturday. This retail store brings new design elements to China for the first time, giving customers more ways to explore ideas, learn more about Apple products, or make it easier to pick up an online order in store,” said Deirdre O’Brien, Apple Senior Vice President of Retail Operations and People.
