Apple Store to reopen in South Korea’s Seoul

An Apple store in the South Korean capital of Seoul will reopen on Saturday, an Apple representative confirmed on Thursday.

This is the first Apple retail store outside of China to reopen and Apple’s only store in South Korea.

The store will be operations for limited hours and will focus on fixing existing customers’ iPhones and computers.

“To start, we’ll have an adjusted schedule and guidelines to ensure customers and employees continue to stay healthy. A focus for the store will be service and support at the Genius Bar.” Apple said in a statement.

“For customers who want to make a purchase, we have several options including ordering online for delivery or pick up in store,”

Apple initially closed its retail stores in mainland China earlier this year, and then in March, it closed all 458 other locations around the world, with a deadline of March 27th that has since been extended indefinitely as the spread of the coronavirus has worsened.
