The Apple store in the Oracle Shopping Centre in Reading, UK, is being moved to a new location with a completely new design in December.
What Is New
Ahead of this, Apple Festival Place store in Basingstoke will be closing in November, leaving the company with 38 retail stores in the UK …
Features and Changes
The store first opened way back in June 2011. Apple Festival Place will remain open until November 2026, after which all team members will have the opportunity to work at Apple The Oracle or other Apple Store locations. We’ve loved serving the Basingstoke community for the last 15 years and look forward to welcoming customers at nearby Apple Stores and on Apple.com , the Apple Store app, and at Apple Authorised Resellers and Service Providers throughout South East England.
We’re excited to reopen the completely redesigned Apple The Oracle this December and offer customers in South East England new ways to discover, shop the latest Apple products, and get support for the devices they own. The reopening will be preceded by the closure of Apple’s Basingstoke store. As we prepare to make these updates, we have decided to close our Apple Festival Place store.
Apple says that the revamped Oracle store will offer all of the facilities customers now expect from its latest design. The all-new Apple The Oracle will feature an experience room for customers to explore products, a designated Genius Bar and Apple Pick Up area to collect online orders, and free Today at Apple sessions teaching customers how go further with the products they love.
