19 mai 2001 - Apple Opens its First Official Store

Description:

Apple opened its first stores on Saturday, May 19th, 2001, at Tysons Corner in McLean, Virginia, and the Glendale Galleria in Glendale, California. Industry critics and even Apple's Board of Directors universally called the move a colossal mistake but in the first weekend alone, over 7700 people visited the two stores, spending just about $600,000 in the two days, proving to be a success. Over the years, Apple has expanded the number of retail locations and its geographical coverage, with 516 stores across 25 countries worldwide as of December 22, 2021, with the newest store opening in Berlin.
