On July 19, 2008, Apple opened its first retail store in China in Beijing. At the time, Ron Johnson, Apple’s then-senior vice president of retail, said, “This is the first of many stores we will open in China.” Johnson was right. On November 4th, the company will open its 46th Apple Retail Store in mainland China.
Malcolm Owen for AppleInsider:
The next Apple Store in mainland China is set to open within weeks, with the storefront at the MixC Wenzhou mall being teased by a historic local textile printing technique.
Apple will be opening the Apple MixC Wenzhou storefront on November 4 at 10:00 AM local time.
The store will be the 46th in mainland China, reports Michael Steeber, with it also being the fourth in the province of Zhejiang, as well as the first in Wenzhou itself. Apple’s retail outlet will take up a single-level store space on floor L1 of the mall.
Steeber points out that this will be the tenth Apple Store in China that will use the MixC prefix, referring to the chain of CR MixC Lifestyle malls across the country.
