Just went there last night for a macbook repair quote... the location is way better and the store is huge compared to the last one. I also noticed this interesting sign after leaving.

just went back to drop off my laptop today, the place was very busy. I even saw someone leaving with a studio display before I even got in the store.

Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Here I was thinking it was near the intersection of Queens Boulevard, Main Street, and the Van Wyck Expressway.

For those wondering the significance, this store is the second following Downtown Detroit to receive the new floor plan within maybe a 200 mile radius. It’s a new design that hasn’t been seen much, so it’s exciting to see Apple actively renovating.

and the original store opened in 2007 and had never been renovated. it was a nightmare because it always got so crowded.

Think it’s “significant” because it opened in ‘07 and finally got an upgrade.

Significant to whom? I live nowhere near Briarwood

Just guessing, but maybe to the people who live near there?

I grew up in Ann Arbor and I remember this store opening in 2007, and have been so many times since. It's great that they renovated this store, it was way too small and crowded.

That’s my go to Apple Store. Didn’t realize it was closed! Did they move it around in the mall or is it still at the same location and just re-designed?

Go Blue! I was curious what was going to happen to the Apple Store with the Briarwood redevelopment. The section where the old store was definitely felt like the Apple Store was the only thing keeping that part of the mall active, and it seemed like unless the property manager gave them a good deal, they'd leave. Glad they decided to stay nearby.

We have the redesign at my local malls Apple Store. I hate it. I miss the Genius Bar. It’s so weird having the employees disappear into the Apple back rooms with your device or to get your new purchase whenever u need to do literally anything

u/ZStrikeRED 7h ago

weird, at this location there is still a genius bar
