Update, June 3, 2026: After initially saying the stores would close sometime in June, Apple has now confirmed an exact date. The stores are officially set to close at these times:

Apple has announced that it is closing three retail stores in the United States, including locations in Connecticut, Maryland, and California.
Apple closing these US stores
In a statement to MacRumors, Apple confirmed it is closing the following retail stores:
- Apple Towson Town Center in Towson, Maryland
- Apple North County in Escondido, California (seen above)
- Apple Trumbull in Trumbull, Connecticut
In the statement, Apple attributed the closures to “the departure of several retailers and declining conditions” at the malls in which the aforementioned stores are located.
Trumbull Mall, for example, recently defaulted on over $150 million in loans amid ongoing struggles and business closures. Multiple businesses at Towson Town Center closed earlier this year, including Tommy Bahama, Banana Republic, and Wockenfuss Candies.
The three Apple Stores are set to close in June, Apple says. All three are listed as “temporarily closed today” on their respective pages on Apple’s website, but are scheduled to re-open tomorrow before permanently closing.

Apple says that its employees at the Trumbull and Escondido stores will be able to “continue their roles at nearby Apple Retail stores.” Apple Towson Town Center employees, meanwhile, “will be eligible to apply for open roles at Apple in accordance with the collective bargaining agreement.”
Apple Towson Town Center became the first Apple Store location to unionize in June 2022. The Apple Store union is part of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers.
Statement from IAM spokesperson:
Apple continues to invest in its retail stores, despite these closures. The company has opened eleven new stores around the world in the past year, as well as upgraded and replaced 14 other locations. In the United States alone, Apple has opened two new stores and upgraded eight others.
