The Grove Renovation
Summer 2004

During the summer of 2004, Apple renovated The Grove (S. Calif.) store, installing stone flooring instead of wood, and replacing Corian furniture with wood. They also moved the second-floor Genius Bar and "kids" section, reconfigured the theater, and also the downstairs-rear of the store.
