More details are emerging on the major upgrade planned for the Third Street Promenade store in Santa Monica (S. Calif.). The store is already classified as “large,” along a pedestrian-only street in the coastal city west of Los Angeles, drawing celebrities and ordinary folk alike. In April tipsters said the renovated store will have two levels and a glass staircase, turning the store into a high-profile location. Now certain personnel details have been revealed: the store manager has been replaced, and some full-time staffers will be relocated to other LA-area stores during the closure. However, not everyone will make the cut. Some full-time employees and all the part-time staff will be laid off, although Apple will make some seasonal work available to them. When the store reopens, perhaps a year later, the company will begin the hiring process all over again, accepting applications, interviewing candidates and hiring employees–even personnel who previously worked at the store.
