Apple opens its first store in Seoul

Cupertino based tech giant Apple has inaugurated its Garosugil store in Seoul. The store features the full line of products and a curated collection of accessories. Lining each side of the store are Avenues, inspired by window displays along a shopping street, which have interactive displays for visitors to get hands-on with third-party products and accessories dedicated to music, home, coding and more.

Through the Apple Store app, customers can also explore products, shop and register for Today at Apple sessions.

We're thrilled to open a new home for our customers in the vibrant city of Seoul and we look forward to continuing to grow in Korea," said Angela Ahrendts, Apple's senior vice president of Retail. "Our stores are gathering places for the community where everyone is welcome to connect, learn and create."

Apple programming offers dozens of free sessions daily to inspire participants to learn and unlock their creativity in photography, music, art and design, coding skills and more. Led by Creative Pros, who are experts in the arts, the sessions bring the community together in the heart of the store - the Forum, with a dynamic 6K video wall and anyone, can begin by taking a 30-minute Quick Start session, go further with experiential Photo Walks or attend a session for entrepreneurs, such as how to Run a Connected Business. Educators and developers can also get hands-on advice and specialized training in the store's dedicated Boardroom.

Apple's four software platforms - iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS - provide seamless experiences across all Apple devices and empower people with breakthrough services including the App Store, Apple Music, Apple Pay and iCloud. Apple's more than 100,000 employees are dedicated to making the best products on earth, and to leaving the world better than we found it.
