- Apple is permanently closing three U.S. retail stores in June 2025 due to struggling mall conditions and retailer departures.
- The closures affect locations in Trumbull (Connecticut), North County (California), and Towson (Maryland), with employees at Trumbull and North County moving to nearby stores.
- The Towson store was Apple's first unionized retail location in the U.S., and its employees will be eligible to apply for open roles per the collective bargaining agreement.
- Apple continues to expand globally, opening 11 new stores since early 2025 and remodeling others, while achieving record revenue last quarter.
- The union (IAM) is outraged by the Towson closure, calling it potentially union-busting and exploring legal actions.
