Apple Stores in three U.S. cities will move to new temporary locations on November 9, possibly due to renovations. Here's what you need to know.
On Tuesday, Apple announced that its La Encantada retail store, in Tucson, Arizona will move to a new location that opens on November 9, at 10 AM local time. According to the company's website, the temporary store will be located on Level 2 of the outdoor shopping center, just in front of the stairs.
As MacRumors points out, the La Encantada store was originally opened two decades ago, in 2004. Apple may opt to renovate the original store location while the temporary store is in use. There are currently no details as to when the La Encantada store will return to its original location.
In late October, Apple announced that it would be opening a temporary store at Roosevelt Field in Long Island, New York, along with another store in Fairfax, Virginia. Both stores are set to open on November 9, the same date as the relocated La Encantada store.
Overseas, Apple's Belfast Store in Northern Ireland was relocated in October. The original store location, which was opened in 2008 under the name Apple Victoria Square, was closed on October 15. Apple Belfast replaced the store on October 18, only three days later.
Apple periodically renovates its various retail store locations, giving them a new look and replacing dated interiors in the process. Several have moved or been renovated since 2023, like Tyson's Corner, Square One, and Birkdale Village.

It's pretty amazing Apple is relocating them during the renovations. Most stores would just temporarily close. Quite impressive, IMHO.
Hey there,
Yes! It’s great to hear that Apple is relocating its store. It’s always exciting to see the brand expand and refresh its locations. This move shows Apple’s commitment to improving the customer experience and making shopping even more convenient. I’m sure the new space will be just as amazing and welcoming as their other stores.
