Apple’s location for its official Singapore store confirmed?
In this article (5)
Apple’s location for its first official store in Singapore might be confirmed in a press release… that was not released by Apple.
The announcement started innocently enough: fitness chain Pure Fitness issued a statement saying it will be closing its branch in Knightsbridge, a distinctive retail building in Singapore. Oddly, it mentions in passing that “Pure and other tenants will be handing back space to make way for the opening of a new Apple store in late 2016.”
We can only guess why Pure Fitness talked about Apple in the press release.
Earlier, an email was apparently sent out to Pure Fitness customers stating the same news:
Apple has been seeking a retail space in Singapore for some time. We are reaching out to the company for comment.
