Apple will open a new retail store at the Arden Fair mall in Sacramento, California, this spring , according to a Sacramento Bee article.
Chris Facas, senior manager at Arden Fair, said that Apple signed papers Wednesday to move into 3,600 square feet previously occupied by the jeweler Bailey, Banks & Biddle. He said Apple would likely move in after renovations are completed sometime in May. The store will be located in the middle of the mall near Nordstrom.
Landing the Apple store is something of a “coup,” according to the Bee. The article notes that retail experts describe the retail outlets as “destination stores, attracting shoppers with high-end electronic goodies, dramatic design and a well-trained sales staff.”
