Apple will relocate its Milton Keynes store to a new branch that will open later this month.

The American computing giants will be leaving their shop in Midsummer Place to a new location elsewhere within the Midsummer Place shopping mall.

The shopping centre themselves confirmed on social media that new branding has been placed as a placeholder for the soon-to-be opened new branch.

Under the confirmed plans, the existing Apple store will close at the end of day’s trading on Tuesday 25th June 2024, before the new outlet opens from 10am on Saturday 29th June.

Reports had first emerged last summer that Apple was planning to leave its existing premises in Milton Keynes, which it has occupied since 2008.

Bloomberg reported in July 2023 that the existing site was among those that Apple was planning to either renovate or replace with stores more in line with recently remodelled Apple stores elsewhere in the world.

Milton Keynes is one of 40 Apple stores in the UK as of February 2024, which is the largest number of Apple Stores in one country anywhere in Europe.
