“Today, Apple had a Grand Reopening for the Ala Moana Apple Store,” T. F. Gregory reports for AAPLInvestors.
“This Apple Store opened on 17 May 2003 and was the first one in Hawai’i. It was Apple’s 57th store and had 4,600 square feet,” Gregory reports. “The store was closed from July 2011 for renovation to the new standard size which was achieved by taking over the space previously occupied by San Lorenzo’s Bikini’s. In addition to a traditional Hawaiian blessing, there were several hula dancers and singers performing.”
Gregory reports, “The store opened at 9:00am to a crowd of over 100 and is now about twice the size of the original store. The first 1,000 customers received a free grey Ala Moana t-shirt.”
