The store, located in the city’s commercial street of Wangfujing, is Apple Inc’s third in Beijing and its sixth on the Chinese mainland.
According to John Browett, Apple’s Senior Vice-President of Retail, the new store is the company’s largest store in Asia with an area of 2,300 sq.m. and more than 300 employees.
A full range of accessories for Apple products is available in the store, Browett told state-run Xinhua news agency.
