Apple Store in Ann Arbor, Michigan is Moving Soon

Go Blue!

Go Blue!

I did Michigan Tech for undergrad, Michigan State for grad school, and Michigan for post-doc. So I'll go with black, gold, green, white, maize, and (of course) blue. 😀

as is its somewhat of a hike to get from parking to the Apple Store there. it would be nice to have a direct entrance. also never felt awesome carrying expensive computers through the mall and mall lot.

Additional to my other comment:

I didn’t feel unsafe but the mall and the Apple Store both had depressing vibes.

I was there about a year ago to pop in and get the enamel medallion they were giving out.

I have to say the parking lot was shabby and the inside of the mall was deserted.

It had a dead mall walking feel to it.

Even the Apple Store had a dim and drab vibe to it.

Nice 😎

Metro Detroit has a total of 4 Apple Stores (when factoring Ann Arbor) and also the brand new store that opened in Detroit last fall and is demographically very similar to Metro Cleveland (where my relatives all live) that currently has a total of 3 Apple Stores - one of which was just opened last spring at Crocker Park:

Detroit has a CSA population of 5.3 million: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metro_Detroit and the entire population of Northeast Ohio (which is an extension of the Greater Cleveland CSA) is 4.5 million: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_Ohio so I wouldn’t be surprised if the Detroit Metro were to get another store sometime in the next few years - I know the Midwest is thriving right now and Tim Cook was even at that grand opening too!

Very happy to hear this. One of the oldest Apple stores finally getting replaced.
