Apple has confirmed the final closing dates for three retail stores in the United States, ending operations at locations in Connecticut, Maryland, and California later this month. The company says the decision comes after changing conditions at the shopping centers where the stores are located.
The following Apple Stores will permanently close on June 20, 2026:
- Apple Trumbull in Trumbull, Connecticut at 9 p.m.
- Apple North County in Escondido, California at 9 p.m.
- Apple Towson Town Center in Towson, Maryland at 8 p.m.
Apple said it evaluated the long-term conditions at these malls before making the decision. According to the company, several retailers have left these locations in recent years, while overall mall conditions have continued to decline.
What Happens to Employees?
Apple says employees at the Trumbull and North County stores will continue working at nearby Apple retail locations. Workers at the Towson Town Center store will be able to apply for other open positions within the company under the terms of their collective bargaining agreement.
The Towson location made history in 2022 when it became the first unionized Apple Store in the United States. Following the closure announcement, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers criticized the decision and raised concerns about its impact on employees and the local community.
Despite these closures, Apple continues investing in its retail business. Over the past year, the company has opened 11 new stores worldwide while also upgrading or relocating 14 existing locations. In the United States, Apple has opened two new stores and completed upgrades at eight others.
