Apple Store in Zurich Moving to New Location on August 31

Rennweg 43 is the former site of the huge Franz Carl Weber which went trough the building over to the Bahnhofstrasse. So there might be a lot of internal volume for this shop (as opposed to the tiny crappy current one).

Here's hoping for a theatre, lots of tables and genius bars.

Love Zurich.

>BTW, FCW had I think four stories.
I am very sure about three stories. But that was 40 years ago ;)

Just FYI, from the second macprime article: "[...] war [...] das Schweizer Spielwarengeschäft «Franz Carl Weber» eingemietet. Dieses erstreckte sich [...] über vier langgezogene Stockwerke."

God those European city streets are so great...We really chose the wrong design path in the US

Hab die Originale niche gelesen... but Perhaps this is a temporary move.

Looking at the article macsteve just linked to, I don't think so. The floor space increases from 400 m² to about 1100 m² (4300 to 12000 sq.ft). It might also be the oldest building(s) any Apple Store is located in (one part is from the 13th century, the other from the 19th). It will stretch over parts of four historical buildings, though the insides of those have been stripped such that largely only the facades remain historical (at least for the floors the Apple Store will use, there might be more historical remnants in the basement and in the top floors).

The new Store will be much bigger (and again 2 stories, going «up»): https://www.macprime.ch/news/article/bauplan-apple-store-rennweg-wird-groesser-als-bahnhofstrasse-zuerich
