Apple In-store Shops In Target?
- Apple Insider, Tuesday, January 10, 2012 11:11 AM
Apple will be opening new store-within-a-store locations in select Target locations later this year, to reach smaller metro areas. A source said Apple will operate branded areas within 25 larger Target stores in locations that can't support a standalone Apple Store.
Target, the second-largest discount retail chain in the U.S., operates 1752 stores in the nation. Apple has opened 359 of its own retail stores globally, 245 of which are in the U.S. Apple currently also operates a "store within a store" at over 600 Best Buy locations with "Apple Shops," some of which feature staffing by Apple solution consultants. Best Buy has over 1,000 total stores in the U.S.
