The Apple Store located in Crocker Park might soon be shifting to a new location as the company has officially acknowledged that updates are planned for the existing store.
The official website for Apple Crocker Park displays a message stating, “Prepare yourself. Exciting innovations are on their way with our forthcoming Apple Store.” However, no specifics have been released regarding potential renovations or timelines for these changes.
In contrast to the situation seen with the relocation of the Trafford Center branch—which adjusted its hours prior to moving—Apple’s venue at Crocker Park maintains its standard operating schedule. This outlet first opened its doors in September 2008 and has not undergone any significant redesign since then, still exhibiting an older aesthetic characterized by brushed steel and glass that contrasts sharply with Apple’s modern architectural direction.
The current configuration of Apple’s retail space is relatively compact and strategically positioned between Buckle, a clothing retailer, and Sleep Number, a mattress store. Moreover, this outlet does not encompass the entirety of its designated area; part of it is occupied by Canary Travel.
Crocker Park Shopping Village Developments
Crocker Park itself is undergoing considerable growth with plans announced for 11 new shops and dining options expected to debut soon. Among these are anticipated additions such as fashion outlets like Garage and Tradehome Shoes.
The proprietors of this shopping village have informed that Arhaus—a home furnishings brand currently situated along same boulevard as Apple’s space—will be both relocating and expanding within this development. Given both the limited size of Apple’s existing establishment and increasing foot traffic in this bustling shopping hub, it’s reasonable to speculate that they may transition to more spacious or strategically advantageous premises within Croker Park.
Future Relocation Plans
Looking ahead into 2025, plans for additional relocation have been disclosed by Apple which include cities like Perth in Australia and Wichita in Kansas among others. It is highly probable that one such move pertains to Äpple’s site at Crocker Park.
