After a number of years of showing interest in opening an official Apple Store in Orchard Road, it is finally happening.
The Pure Group, owners of the Pure Fitness gym at Knightsbridge (also known as the Grand Park Orchard Hotel building, where the local Abercrombie & Fitch store is located), announced via an email to its members that;
…we, along with other tenants of the building, will be handling back space to the landlord to make way for the opening of Singapore’s first Apple Store later in 2016.
Obviously they leaked this because they are pissed that the landlord is forcing them out to make way for Apple.
Seriously, ANY LANDLORD will give the utmost priority for an Apple Store, so suck it, Pure Fitness.
Nevertheless, it is finally good to get some closure to the whole “Apple Store in Singapore” thing that had been going on since 2012.
