Apple has unveiled more details of its new retail store, which is opening in London’s Covent Garden on Saturday.
The annoucement follows initial details of the historic building, which we reported last week.
The Covent Garden store will have rooms dedicated to Macs, iPads, iPhones and iPods, and will employ 300 staff.
It will also sport a Genius Bar for free technical support and tech training facilities.
A Start Up Room will help get customers’ new devices up and running before they leave the store.
"We are thrilled to open a new store in this amazing location in Covent Garden. Our store on Regent Street is one of the most popular and successful Apple stores in the world, and we think the people of London will love the new Apple Store Covent Garden just as much," Ron Johnson, Apple’s senior vice president of retail, said.
