The shootings at a North Carolina mall — the most recent of which occurred outside a nearby Macy’s location on Tuesday – were a factor in the abrupt closure.
However, local business owners said the shootings were taking a toll.
“It used to be busy all the time here, especially at night,” Theera Green, the manager at Red Crab restaurant, told the outlet. “People don’t feel safe to come out at night now, so it’s greatly impacted us.”The company’s website for the Apple store at Northlake Mall now displays the message, “Thank you for visiting,” as well as a notice informing customers that the location has closed.
“In preparation for a new store we plan to open in the Charlotte area early next year, we will be permanently closing Wednesday, March 1st at 4pm,” the website says.“All of our team members will continue to support our Charlotte customers at Apple SouthPark and the Apple Store Online,” the message adds.The store closure is not expected to result in any layoffs. Apple has roughly 270 retail locations in the US.
