  • Apple to open its first retail store in Singapore in 2016

    Apple is expanding its retail store globally pretty rapidly, as the company has now announced opening of its first retail store in Singapore. Apple’s this store is reportedly going to open sometime in 2016. We first got this news last month, when it was reported that the Cupertino based company is opening its first retail store in Singapore.

    Today, Apple has listed out several job vacancies like Specialists, Business Specialists, Creative, and some other Apple positions for its Singapore Retail Store. This store is going to open at Knightsbridge at a four storage luxury shopping center.

    As of Now, Apple doesn’t have any official retail store in this region. So people, who are interested in buying Apple product have to buy their devices from third party retailers or online store. But if anyone wants to buy product from Apple’s official retail store, then they have to go to company’s retail store in Hong Kong or Australia.

    As of now, we don’t have any specific date of opening of Apple retail store in Singapore, but it is going to open sometime next year.

  • Why Apple Is Rumored To Launch First Store In Singapore

    Why Apple Is Rumored To Launch First Store In Singapore

    Recent online speculation suggests that Apple Inc. is all set to open its first-ever retail outlet in Singapore by 2016, leading to the shutdown of the Pure Fitness Knightsbridge branch by end of this year. The tech giant currently operates in Singapore through its online store and third-party retailers.

    The company’s next store is the reason why Pure Fitness has to evacuate from its location on Orchard Road. The fitness chain notified its customers and tenants about its decision in an email to “make way” for Apple’s new store opening. The Pure Fitness Knightsbridge is scheduled to shut on December 15, 2015.

    Apple has still not confirmed Pure Fitness’ statement; however, there is a great chance that the tech giant may be considering investing in its outlet on Orchard road, the shopping hub of Singapore, to further expand its customer-base and make use of its ideal store location.

    Since the tech giant’s products and services are accessible in Singapore through its online store and third-party outlets, Apple has already secure a position in competitive markets even before its first store opening. The company’s apparent decision to launch an Apple Store in the specific location will also help trigger increased activity for surrounding brands and businesses through its dedicated client-base.

    While Apple remains vague about its plans for Singapore, it has been busy launching new Apple Stores in various countries, with the latest opening in Dalian, China. The company is also set to launch its largest Apple Store in Dubai before the end of October, marking it as one of the many Apple outlets that the company launched solely this month. With Apple’s vast campaign to expand its platform to numerous countries in 2015, it will not come as a surprise if the tech giant launches a retail outlet for its Singaporean client-base to further promote its variants.

  • Apple Is Building A New Store In Hong Kong

    Apple Is Building A New Store In Hong Kong

    As part of a huge push to own the Chinese market, Apple is opening up a new store in Hong Kong.

    It will be located on Canton Road, which is known for shopping, on the Kowloon side of Hong Kong. The company has yet to announce an opening date, but work is already underway behind the barricade pictured above.

    Apple currently has 19 stores in China, and the Hong Kong location will be its 20th in the country, and the fourth in that region. Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, Chengdu, Wuxi, Hangzhou, Shenyang, Shenzhen, Zhengzhou, and Chongqing already have at least one Apple store.

    Hong Kong is one of the more shopping-focused markets in China, and Apple currently has three stores in the area. Canton Road, however, is one of the more highly trafficked shopping streets in China and the world, and the new store should prove to be one of the biggest on the island.

    Apple has been heavily focused on building out its presence in China.

    First quarter earnings in 2015 showed that China represented sales of $16.144 billion, which is an increase of 157 percent from the quarter before and 70 percent from the previous year. Retail is a huge part of that push, and a store in Hong Kong only makes sense.

    Apple has no word on when the store will open, but you can likely expect to see more and more of a retail push in China as Apple continues to climb the charts in that market.
