Apple has temporarily moved its South Coast Plaza retail store in Costa Mesa, California. The new space sits within the same shopping mall, only a short walk from the original location. The company has not announced when the renovated store will reopen, but its remodels typically take months.
A Key Location in Apple’s Retail History
The South Coast Plaza store opened in 2001, making it one of Apple’s earliest retail sites in the United States. Located in the heart of Orange County, the mall is the largest in California and remains a major shopping destination. Apple’s decision to renovate reflects its broader effort to refresh older stores while maintaining service for customers during construction.
Apple notified some customers about the relocation via email last week. On its official website, the company also confirmed the move, directing visitors to the temporary space within the mall.
