Jan 24, 2025
Apple’s newest store opened Friday at the Miami Worldcenter, attracting crowds from around the globe who waited hours to visit.
The store, featuring an Art Deco-inspired design and an outdoor courtyard garden, is the latest addition to downtown Miami’s 27-acre mixed-use retail and residential development.
“I’ve never been able to experience a store opening before so this will be my first time seeing a brand new Apple store opening,” said Jayce Mendez.
Excited customers rushed in when the doors opened, making purchases within minutes.
“I’m an Apple enthusiast. I love the brand and I’m here to support,” said one person.
The new store offers the first dedicated Apple Pickup area in Miami, making it easier for customers to buy online and collect their orders in-store.
“I flew down from Iowa, the Midwest, just to be able to attend this opening and it’s just something bigger than myself just to be able to attend something that’s just amazing,” said Soren.
“I couldn’t help it, it’s beautiful,” said one person. “The energy.”
The store is the 10th Apple location in Miami, and employees say it may be the best one yet.
