Apple's Basingstoke store will close on November 21, MacRumors reports
Apple has set a date for the closure of its Festival Place store in Basingstoke, England: the shop will close permanently on Saturday, November 21, according to MacRumors. Apple had previously said the store would shut in November but had not named a day until now.
The Basingstoke location opened in 2011, giving it roughly 15 years of trading in the Festival Place shopping centre. Apple has not publicly given a reason for the closure. MacRumors suggests the company is consolidating its local retail presence around its store in Reading, about 15 miles away.
