Washington Apple Store to relocate away from huge Microsoft Store
Apple is moving its Bellevue Square Washington store from its 4,600 square-foot location on the ground floor to a second level retail space that will double its current size. Besides increasing its retail footprint, the Apple store will be moving away from the giant Microsoft store, which is few doors down on the ground floor.
Interestingly enough, the Apple store will now be positioned above and across from the Microsoft store. Every customer leaving the Microsoft retail store may be able glance upwards and see a giant Apple logo looking down on them. Do you think, even a little bit, that Apple is doing this to lure customers away from its Redmond-based competitor?
The move should be completed by the end of the year, possibly in time for the big holiday shopping season.
