US EditionApple to Close Store in Baltimore County's Towson Town Center, Citing "Declining Conditions"
Apple said employees at two stores can move to nearby locations as it cites retailer departures and declining mall conditions.
- On Thursday, Apple announced it will permanently close three retail locations: Trumbull Mall in Connecticut, the Shops at North County in California, and Towson Town Center in Maryland, with operations ending in June.
- Apple attributed the decision to "the departure of several retailers and declining conditions" at the malls, stating it remains deliberate about evaluating existing locations to meet customer needs.
- Team members at Trumbull and North County will continue their roles at nearby Apple Retail stores, while Towson employees are eligible to apply for open positions under the collective bargaining agreement.
- The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers called Apple's claim "simply false," alleging the closure is a "cynical attempt to bust the union" and is exploring legal options.
- All three stores are listed as "temporarily closed today" on Apple's website but are scheduled to reopen before permanently closing in June.
