Apple has officially expanded its Apple Store network with one new addition, this time beyond the borders of the United States.

The new location is none other than Wuhan, as Apple says that by opening an Apple Store in the Hubei province it can more efficiently serve the growing Apple community in the region.

Unfortunately, many people now know Wuhan for a completely different reason, but for Apple, the new location makes perfect sense, possibly from a sales perspective.

The company hasn’t offered such specifics, but the company did mention picking online orders as one of the main targets of the new store.

“We are incredibly excited to open our first Apple Store in Hubei Province. Our highly dedicated team of Specialist experts is looking forward to welcoming customers from this vibrant community starting this Saturday. This retail store brings new design elements to China for the first time, giving customers more ways to explore ideas, learn more about Apple products, or more easily pick up items ordered online,” the company said.

New store in New Jersey?

In the meantime, it’s believed Apple is also planning to open a new Apple Store in New Jersey, with the company already hiring staff for this location.

As you probably know already, the company doesn’t typically discuss new store openings before the event actually takes place, so all details are missing right now.

The company, however, is working around the clock on multiple fronts these days. With the WWDC just around the corner, the Cupertino-based firm is also giving the finishing touches to the new-generation iPhone, which as per its own calendar, should see daylight at some point in September.

Furthermore, Apple will soon release the preview build of iOS 16, with the new operating system to also go live alongside the new series of iPhones in the fall of this year.
