On Thursday, February 3, the brand new Apple Yas Mall debuted in Abu Dhabi’s bustling shopping district. The shop, which is nearly twice the size of the old site, serves as a reinvented area for consumers to peruse Apple’s latest goods and services, receive the greatest support from educated team members, and participate in free Today at Apple sessions.
“With the opening of the newly expanded Apple Yas Mall, our team is ready to welcome even more of Abu Dhabi’s incredibly diverse and innovative community to this beautiful new space,” said Deirdre O’Brien, Apple’s senior vice president of Retail + People. “We look forward to continuing to bring the best of Apple to the UAE, and building on our history in the region.”
The store, which is located on a prime corner in the mall’s town square, has a magnificent curving glass front and over 150 feet of glass inside the storefront. The area has Bianco Cristal floors and wood ceilings, which are comparable to those found in other Apple Store locations around the world. Two enormous skylights lie directly above six Ficus Nitida trees, allowing enough of natural light to flood the interior.
The freestanding video wall and Forum are located in the center of the store, where free Today at Apple seminars are held. These daily classes, led by Apple Creative Pros, provide creative inspiration, teach practical skills, and help participants get more out of their products.
Customers can learn more about Apple’s Trade In program for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch at surrounding tables and avenues, as well as obtain shopping assistance from Apple Specialists. Apple Yas Mall has a team of 100 highly qualified employees that speak 33 languages and come from 32 different countries. Since the store first opened in 2015, the diverse crew has nearly doubled, and more than half of the team will greet customers in the new Apple Yas Mall site.
