Apple to open first retail store in Malaysia amid continued expansion in Asia
Underscoring a bigger push into the Asia region beyond China, Apple plans to open its first retail store in Malaysia next month. The store will be located at The Exchange TRX mall in Kuala Lumpur and will open on June 22nd at 10am local time.
The move to open a store in Malaysia continues a push by Apple to expand Asian sales outside of China, where Apple has struggled in of late amid rising competition from local players, in particular Huawei.
Last year, Apple opened its first stores in India, a key manufacturing hub for the iPhone, and a market the Cupertino giant hopes will be a big sales driver in the future.
Apple does not produce iPhones in Malaysia, but it manufactures some Mac models locally.
Apple already has stores in other Asian locations, including in Singapore and Thailand.
