Pasadena Apple Store Recloses Due to COVID-19

The Apple Store in Pasadena will be closed for an undetermined period, starting Thursday, due to the surging COVID-19 pandemic, according to the company.

The Pasadena location at 54 W Colorado Blvd. is among 15 California stores that had previously reopened, but are again shutting down as the spread of the novel coronavirus increases, 9to5Mac reported.

A representative at the Pasadena store confirmed the location would be closing at 7 p.m. Wednesday and not reopening for general services until further notice.

“We look forward to resuming full operations as soon as it’s safe to do so,” the store said in a statement on its website.

Customers will still be able to pick up existing online orders, and previously scheduled Genius Support appointments through July 3 will still be honored, according to Apple.

“Our commitment is to only move forward with a reopening once we’re confident we can safely return to serving customers from our stores,” according to a statement issued by Apple in March. “We look at every available piece of data — including local cases, near and long?term trends, and guidance from national and local health officials. These are not decisions we rush into — and a store opening in no way means that we won’t take the preventative step of closing it again should local conditions warrant.”
