Apple's Redesigned and Relocated Tysons Corner Store Opens Today
Apple over the last several months has been working on relocating its first-ever Apple Store in a Fairfax, Virginia shopping mall, and today is the grand opening of the revamped and relocated Tysons Corner store.
Several influencers and Apple Store enthusiasts were invited to see Tysons Corner ahead of its opening, and were walked through the new store features. Michael Steeber shared detailed images of the experience, highlighting the Genius Bar, a hardware flex space, an Apple Watch Studio, and more. Apple has moved away from physical Genius Bar sections in its stores in recent years, but Tysons Corner has a dedicated Genius Bar in the right corner, similar to the original store. As Steeber points out, this is the first actual Genius Bar that Apple has installed in a store since 2015, though the concept of the Genius Bar never went away.There is a flexible hardware space at Tysons Corner, which Steeber says is designed to spotlight Apple's latest hardware. Apple has also included an in-person Apple Watch Studio where customers can mix and match Apple Watch cases and bands.

Apple: we care about the environmentWood, as a material, removes more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than adds. Turning iron ore into Stainless Steel, mining precious stone from rock quarries, and making concrete are very carbon intensive activities.
Also Apple: *builds an entire Apple Store out of WOOD*
Carbon is locked into the wood, and then at the end of its life can be recycled into something else with little more than a sanding and cutting job. Recycling metals and concrete/stone once again, is carbon intensive.
As long as we don’t clear cut ancient Boreal forests, its fine by me.
Looks dated already, IMO. Reminds me too much of the '70s. *cringe*Not enough shag carpet, large flower prints, or orange and green accents to be from the 70s. Also, no paneling to be seen anywhere.
(Those who didn't live through/grow up during the '70s probably won't be able to relate)
I spent 5 years in a cold, freestanding sterile glass and stainless steel store (one of Apple’s Biggest) so it’s nice to see an abundance of wood.It's a great nod to Apple's past, and as you said, very warm and inviting. I suspect the floor was chosen for some contrast to lighten the area up, and perhaps also being more durable for expected traffic volume.
If only the floors were also wood to match my first store. Otherwise In a way, Nostalgia is abundant here for me. Wood is warm and inviting; and most importantly much more sustainable.
