Apple to open new retail store along Princes Street in Edinburgh, Scotland, on Oct. 18
Apple has announced that it’s set to open its newest retail store in Scotland on Saturday, Oct. 18.
The new store in question is none other the one located along the historic Princes Street in Edinburgh. As noted by MacRumors:
According to the Edinburgh News, the building containing the retail space was built in 1769 as the Crown Hotel. Throughout the past 40 years, the location has been occupied by a number of tenants including Woolworth’s, Burger King, Waterstones, and Evans. The new store will also follow Apple’s recent trend of constructing retail stores in historical buildings, most recently done with its MacArthur Chambers Store in Brisbane, Australia.
