Old #7 in Columbus (Ohio) is moving down the tracks. Demolition of the former Limited store is complete at the north end of Easton Town Center, and a black construction barricade is now up in front, confirming a new and larger space for the Apple store. Sadly, it will also mean the disappearance of the store’s twin, back-lit Apple logos, set in black metal on either side of the entrance. Only a few of the early stores continue to sport the vintage storefront design. This store opened September 7, 2001, just days before America’s sad national tragedy. Since then store traffic, both for sales and Genius Bar service, has skyrocketed. Space in the back-of-house is notoriously short, too. The store could move into the new space by year’s end.
A black construction barricade on The Strand identifies the location of the future, larger store at the north end of the mall.
The future store is located further north in the mall, next to Brighton Collectibles.
