Apple’s Infinite Loop Store at Former Headquarters Closing Next Month

Apple today confirmed that it will be permanently closing its Infinite Loop retail store in Cupertino, California on January 20. Infinite Loop served as Apple’s headquarters between 1993 and 2017, when its current Apple Park headquarters opened a few miles away.

Apple will be offering all employees at the store the opportunity to continue working with the company. A source informed us that at least some employees will be able to relocate to nearby stores, including the Apple Park Visitor Center and Apple Valley Fair.

“After many years of serving customers at our stores in the Bay Area, we plan to close our store at Infinite Loop,” an Apple spokesperson said, in a statement shared with MacRumors. “All of our valued team members will have the opportunity to continue their roles with Apple. We look forward to welcoming our customers at our nearby Apple Park Visitor Center and other locations, on Apple.com, and the Apple Store app.”

Apple said it has opened new stores this year in the U.S., China, India, South Korea, and the U.K., and expanded its online store to Chile and Vietnam.

The offices at the Infinite Loop campus will continue to be used by Apple’s corporate employees. The main building’s atrium is under construction until early 2024.

The store at Infinite Loop was originally known as The Company Store, and it focused more on Apple merchandise. Following renovations in 2015, it reopened as a more traditional Apple retail store, with products like the iPhone, Mac, and Apple Watch, but it continued to sell a limited selection of merchandise. The store is one of Apple’s smaller locations, and it did not offer Genius Bar appointments or Today at Apple creativity sessions.
