While Apple has yet to announce a relocation of its Square One store in Mississauga, Ontario, building permits reveal that it is moving to a new site in the same complex.
While it isn't planning as much of a renovation as, for instance, Vancouver's Apple Store, the Square One site will soon see a transformation.
According to iPhoneInCanada, building permits have been issued to Apple by the City of Mississauga's planning and building department. The documentation specifies "interior alterations - Apple," but it does not mean that the existing store is being remodelled.
Rather, it is a unit on the second floor of the same 100 City Center Drive, that is being prepared for use by Apple. There are no details of whether the new unit is larger, but it is believed that Apple is relocating to it rather than adding a second or extended store front.
Omers Realty Management Corp and the Oxford Properties Group presented plans to the local council. Reportedly, the estimated cost of the work is CA$950,000 (approximately $696,000).
An image of the new location shows Apple's typical black barriers blocking out all view of the store.
The new Square One store is expected to open in November 2023, in time for the holiday season. At present, the existing store remains open as usual.
