In the last two years, Apple has been renovating selected Apple Stores around the world. Since Angela Ahrends became the head of the company's retail department, the appearance of official Apple stores has undergone a fundamental change. And precisely for that, a thorough reconstruction is needed. The most famous and iconic Apple Store in the world, on America's 5th avenue, is currently undergoing this renovation and should be ready sometime early next year. However, another revamped Apple Store opened in Australia over the weekend and it looks really beautiful. You can view the gallery below.
The first modernized Apple Store in Australia has opened in Melbourne. The original official Apple store opened here in 2008. Its new version is about three times larger and includes all the elements that Apple installs in its new stores. Visitors can look forward to an airy interior, minimalist design, elements of greenery (in this case Australian ficuses), etc.
The original number of employees who worked in this store in 2008 was approximately 69. Before the closure and renovation, approximately 240 employees worked here, and a very similar number will apply to the newly opened store. Before reopening, the Melbourne Apple Store was one of the busiest stores in the country, with staff serving just under 3 customers in one opening day.

It must be really comfortable to sit on those wooden blocks...
You can really go anywhere with that gallery.. so many people download it here, but there will still be 1 photo and 1 loading of the website.. can't you at least put a grid layout there so that people can see what the whole gallery contains? I'd rather click on that source and see the whole thing there
