Apple store / China Central Mall
In 2001, the world’s largest technology company Apple opened its first retail store in New York City. Offering visitors a unique consumer experience, Apple’s retailing arm quickly became a success, registering annual sales of USD1 billion within three years – the fastest company to hit that milestone in retail history.
To date, the Cupertino, California, based company has more than 500 outlets worldwide, including neighbouring Singapore and Thailand. The word now is that Apple will be opening a store in Kuala Lumpur soon, rumoured to be in the new social heart of Kuala Lumpur, The Exchange TRX.

Aside from its beautiful technology and gadgets, Apple’s retail spaces are equally impressive in Asia. These include the outlets in Singapore, Thailand, Japan and China, all of which have become world-famous for their spectacular designs. We imagine the Kuala Lumpur store will be at least as impressive.
