Apple Square One Opening
New Apple store opens in Mississauga, Ontario
Apple has officially opened its new store at Square One shopping mall in Mississauga, Ontario. This marks an exciting milestone for Apple, as it is their first store in Canada with a dedicated pickup station. The store is situated on the second floor above the Food Central food court, making it easily accessible for shoppers.
Located in Canada’s second-largest indoor shopping mall
Square One is Canada’s second-largest indoor shopping mall, and it is the perfect location for Apple’s new store. With its prime location in Mississauga, just west of Toronto, the store is sure to attract customers from all over the region. It is a hub of activity and a popular destination for shopping enthusiasts.
Situated on the second floor above the Food Central food court
The new Apple store at Square One is located on the second floor, right above the bustling Food Central food court. This strategic placement ensures that the store is in the heart of the action, surrounded by other popular retailers and eateries. Customers can easily take a break from shopping to grab a bite to eat before continuing their Apple experience.
Features of the New Store
Curved glass facade and expansive interior
One of the standout features of the new Apple Square One store is its stunning curved glass facade. This architectural design element not only adds a touch of elegance to the store’s exterior but also provides a glimpse of the modern and sleek interior that awaits customers. Upon entering the store, visitors will be greeted by a spacious and expansive interior that showcases Apple’s products in a visually appealing manner.
Larger than Apple’s previous location in the mall
The size of the new Apple Square One store is a significant improvement over its previous location in the mall. The old store was often crowded, making it challenging for customers to navigate and browse the products comfortably. With the larger space available in the new store, customers can expect a more pleasant and relaxed shopping experience.
Store offers a dedicated Apple Pickup station for online orders
One of the standout features of the new Apple Square One store is the dedicated Apple Pickup station. This station is specifically designed for customers who place online orders on Apple.com or through the Apple Store app. It provides a convenient and efficient way for customers to collect their purchases without having to navigate the entire store. This is particularly beneficial for customers who are in a rush or prefer a contactless pickup experience.
Positive Aspects
New store is more spacious and less crowded
As mentioned earlier, the larger size of the new Apple Square One store is a significant improvement over its previous location. Customers will now have more space to move around and explore the various products and services that Apple offers. The previous store was often crowded, leading to a less than optimal shopping experience. With the increased space, customers can expect a more comfortable and enjoyable visit to the store.
Customers can conveniently collect their online orders
The introduction of the dedicated Apple Pickup station is a game-changer for customers who prefer to shop online. Instead of having to navigate the entire store to pick up their purchases, customers can now conveniently collect their online orders at the designated station. This saves time and provides a seamless shopping experience for those who prefer the convenience of online shopping.
More efficient and convenient shopping experience
Overall, the new Apple Square One store aims to provide a more efficient and convenient shopping experience for customers. The store’s layout and design elements have been thoughtfully curated to ensure that customers can easily find what they are looking for and receive the assistance they need. With a wide range of Apple products and services available, customers can get everything they need in one place.
Negative Aspects
Store lacks some of Apple’s latest retail design elements
While the new Apple Square One store offers many positive features, there are also a few areas where it falls short. One of the main drawbacks is the absence of some of Apple’s latest retail design elements. These elements, such as a Genius Bar with varied table and seating heights for improved accessibility, were first introduced in other Apple stores but are not present in this location. While this may not be a major concern for most customers, it is worth noting for those who value these design elements.
No Genius Bar with varied table and seating heights
The Genius Bar, which provides hardware support and troubleshooting for Apple products, does not feature the varied table and seating heights seen in other Apple stores. Although customers can still receive assistance and support from a Genius at the store, the lack of these design elements may not offer the same level of accessibility and comfort for some individuals.
No Apple Watch Studio for customizing Apple Watch
Another notable absence in the new Apple Square One store is the Apple Watch Studio, which allows customers to customize their Apple Watch with different case and band combinations. While customers can still purchase and explore the range of Apple Watch options, they won’t have the same level of customization available in other stores. This could be disappointing for those who enjoy personalizing their Apple Watch to suit their style.
Services Available
Customers can receive hardware support from a Genius
Despite the lack of some of Apple’s latest retail design elements, customers can still count on receiving reliable hardware support from a Genius at the new Apple Square One store. The knowledgeable staff members are trained to assist with troubleshooting and repairs, ensuring that customers’ Apple products are well taken care of. This service provides peace of mind to customers who may encounter technical issues with their devices.
Participate in free creative sessions through Today at Apple program
The new Apple Square One store offers customers the opportunity to participate in free creative sessions through Apple’s Today at Apple program. These sessions provide hands-on experiences and learning opportunities for customers to explore different aspects of Apple’s products and services. From coding workshops to photography classes, the Today at Apple program offers something for everyone, regardless of their skill level or interests.

Other stores in Canada have a classic design
While the new Apple Square One store boasts a modern and sleek design, it is worth noting that all other Apple stores in Canada have a classic design.
