#APPLE STORE ALA MOANA CLOSED FREE#
The first 1,000 customers received a free grey Ala Moana t-shirt. The store opened at 9:00am to a crowd of over 100 and is now about twice the size of the original store. In addition to a traditional Hawaiian blessing, there were several hula dancers and singers performing. Major work had to be done in order to obtain the clean, wide openness feeling along with higher than standard ceilings. Apple worked very closely with the Ala Moana Shopping Center management as this was the first store of this size that has no pillars. The store was closed from July 2011 for renovation to the new standard size which was achieved by taking over the space previously occupied by San Lorenzo’s Bikinis. It was Apple’s 57th store and had 4,600 square foot. This Apple Store opened on and was the first one in Hawai’i. Today, Apple had a Grand Reopening for the Ala Moana Apple Store (official #R073).
