Apple’s website is teasing a new Crocker Park retail store in Westlake, Ohio, with a three-sentence addition to the store’s listing.The store is certainly due a refresh, given the now dated-looking aluminum facade and walls, in contrast to the use of natural materials like wood and stone in more recent stores.While the company hasn’t revealed any specifics, the wording does seem to point to a new store in the shopping village, and points to further evidence for this.
For shopping malls in particular, we’ve seen Apple adopt a new design language which creates a curved, seamless transition between the exterior and interior.We first saw this used in India.We’ve since seen the same approach employed in two Chinese Apple Stores, one in Shenzhen, the second in Hefei.
There seems a decent chance that a similar approach will be taken at Crocker Park.There’s no word yet on when the new store will open. You’re reading 9to5Mac — experts who break news about Apple and its surrounding ecosystem, day after day.
