Apple Store in Pittsburgh Moving Next Month

by

Just hours after we published a long list of Apple Stores that are opening or closing this year, Apple has announced one more.

Apple Store Shadyside PittsburghThe existing Apple Shadyside opened in 2004

Apple Shadyside in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania will be on the move next month, with the store set to relocate from 5508 Walnut Street to 5436 Walnut Street. The new store is in a two-floor unit that was previously occupied by clothing brand Gap. Apple has completed extensive renovations to the unit, which has an all-new facade.

The new store will be holding its grand opening on Saturday, August 9 at 10 a.m. local time, according to Apple's website. It is located just west of Bellefonte Street, just steps away from Apple's existing store on Walnut Street.

The new store is significantly larger than the original Apple Shadyside, which will be closing as part of the shuffle. It will have an updated design, which typically includes an Apple Pickup station for in-store pickup of online orders, and often a Genius Bar with varied table and seat heights for improved accessibility. Apple's newer stores also use more engineered wood, whereas classic stores made extensive use of stainless steel.

Apple Shadyside first opened in September 2004, so the company has already been doing business on Walnut Street for more than 20 years.

Thanks, Jordan Leven!

Actually, the Walnut street store is the ONLY store located within "city limits." The South Hills Village store and the Ross Park store are both located in suburban malls in the "metro area." Just saying......

Nice to see a lot of of the midwestern stores getting renovated in recent months - Cleveland’s Crocker Park store recently got renovated and a brand new Apple Store is planned for downtown Detroit

Hard to believe that Pittsburgh has a total of 3 Apple stores (within the city limits) even though the population of Pittsburgh is just over 300,000

Boston only has one Apple Store and has a population of over 650,000

I think Pittsburgh has more Apple Stores per capita (within city limits - not metro area) than any other city in the world if I’m not mistaken
Shadyside is the only one in the city limits, Ross Park Mall is a Pittsburgh mailing address, but it's in Ross Township. The South Hills Village location is also a Pittsburgh mailing address, but is in Bethel Park and Upper St. Clair.

And there will still be no parking.
And there will still be a parking garage on Bellefonte St.

interesting. I did some research just now and came across this article that explains the historical significance of ‘USPS mailing routes’ which are apparently often confused with the actual Pittsburgh city limits:

This is not unique to Pittsburgh. For example, most of what people think of as Las Vegas is not even in Las Vegas, although they use a Las Vegas address.

As far as Pittsburgh goes, most 152xx ZIP codes use Pittsburgh as the city name, although in many cases you can use the actual town’s name as well. I avoided using Pittsburgh in my address whenever I could when I lived near the city.

Also, Allegheny County, where the 3 Apple Stores are, has a population of over 1.2 million. The metro area, which includes surrounding counties but is mostly rural with small towns, is over 2 million.

Good to know. Lot of new store openings and closing. A bigger store is good.

Once you factor in that it’s 3 stores to the entire metro area, which has I think about 2.7m people, it makes a bit more sense
