The store\u2019s barricade featured vibrant peacock feather artwork \u2014 a nod to India\u2019s national bird and a symbol of pride.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">This is also Apple\u2019s first store in South India, and it promises to deliver a premium shopping and support experience tailored to the city\u2019s vibrant, tech-savvy crowd.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">\u201cWe can\u2019t wait to connect with people here and inspire them to create, collaborate, and do amazing things with Apple,&#8221; said Deirdre O\u2019Brien, Apple\u2019s Senior Vice President of Retail and People.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">The new store occupies 8,000 sq ft, smaller than the 20,800 sq ft Apple BKC in Mumbai but comparable in size to Apple Saket in Delhi\u2019s Select Citywalk Mall, which opened alongside the Mumbai store in 2023.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">People flocked to the store hoping to be among the first to enter, in an opening event.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">Apple\u2019s Bengaluru opening marks part of a broader retail expansion in India. The company has plans for four new stores across Bengaluru, Pune, Delhi-NCR and Mumbai. While Apple has confirmed the Bengaluru launch, it has yet to announce timelines for the other outlets.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">Reports also suggest that Apple has leased space at Oberoi Sky City Mall in Borivali, Mumbai, which is likely to become the company\u2019s second store in the city.<\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\">Meanwhile, Apple India has leased around 2.7 lakh square feet of office space in Bangalore for 10 years with a starting monthly rent of Rs 6.3 crore, according to data analytics firm Propstack. The company has taken multiple floors including car parking space on lease from real estate firm Embassy Group.<\/p>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\">The iPhone maker is estimated to pay more than Rs 1,000 crore in rent, car park and maintenance charge over a period of 10 years, as per Propstack, which has reviewed the registration document of this leasing transaction.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Untitled-design-2025-06-421898aac7df12606d3395094d8b8840.png?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/shobhit-gupta-28018.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Shobhit Gupta<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Shobhit Gupta is a sub-editor at News18.com and covers India and International news.
