Apple is apparently opening a store in London’s prestigious Harrods department store

Published on Jan 20, 2012

Apple is apparently looking to open one of its retail stores in Harrods, one of London’s most exclusive department stores.

The news comes via 9to5Mac, which reports that sources within Harrods have confirmed that Apple does intend to open a store within its opulent West London shopping centre.

‘Apple’s presence in Harrods’ one million square feet of retail space will be sure to attract ogling tourists and absurdly rich oil sheiks alike,’ reports Stuff, ‘and we expect wooden tables, white Apple logos and shiny iDevices sure to be present and accounted for.’

Apple already has stores on London’s Regent Street and in Covent Garden. Both of which have been extremely popular with customers – when was the last time you saw an empty Apple Store?

But by tapping into Harrods Apple is getting into a whole new demographic of consumers – tourists, the super rich and people with more money than sense. And getting these types of buyers onboard will do wonders for Apple’s already inflated revenue streams.

There’s been no official word from Apple regarding this issue (but there never is), so while it’s unconfirmed at present we can certainly imagine seeing an Apple Store inside Harrods at some point in 2012. It just kind of makes sense.

More news as we get it.
