Dalian’s First Apple Store to Close in August After Nearly a Decade of Operation
Apple will close its Dalian Apple Store on August 9, 2025, marking the end of nearly a decade of operation. The reason for the closure is unclear. This closure coincides with the opening of a new store in Shenzhen on August 16. Apple currently operates 49 stores across China, demonstrating its continued investment in the Chinese market despite the Dalian closure. Speculation suggests declining foot traffic in Dalian may be a factor in the store’s closure.
