Apple® Kärntner Straße, Apple’s first store in Austria, will
open Saturday at 9:30 a.m. in the heart of Vienna. Nestled on the
famous pedestrian shopping street between St. Stephen’s Cathedral
and the Vienna State Opera, the store’s 150 employees will invite
visitors to experience the creative sessions and services offered
in Apple Stores around the world.
“We can’t wait to join the bustling city of Vienna, a European
crossroads so rich in history and culture,” said Angela Ahrendts,
Apple’s senior vice president of Retail. “Apple Kärntner Straße
brings the best of Apple together with our products, services and
educational programs. Everyone is welcome to connect, be inspired
to learn, and unlock their creativity.”
Designed with the original heritage building in mind, the
two-level store features a corner entrance and reinstated exposed
columns with large window openings that seamlessly connect it to
the public gathering space outside. The highly knowledgeable
employees together speak 44 languages and will be ready to serve
international customers at Apple Kärntner Straße.
Visitors can participate in free Today at Apple℠ sessions every
day focused on photography, coding and app development, music, art
and design, and more in The Forum. The diverse programs include
Quick Start and How To sessions, Music Labs and Studio Hours, all
led by Apple Creatives, the store’s experts in liberal arts.
Interactive Photo Walks and Sketch Walks take participants outside
the store to explore nearby sites in the city while learning new
skills.
Programs are designed to serve all in the community, including
sessions specifically for educators and children, such as Kids Hour
on Saturdays. Entrepreneurs and app developers interested in
hands-on training and advice can meet with Apple team members in
the Boardroom for customized support.
Customers looking to simply try out Apple products can explore
the entire line in the store and learn more from the store team at
any time. New owners can get help customizing their iPhone, iPad,
Apple Watch or Mac with Personal Setup and users can work side by
side with Geniuses at the Genius Bar when looking for technical
support and advice. Additionally, the Apple Store app is a
personalized guide to the best support options from Apple and
another way to get connected with an expert.
Apple Kärntner Straße will open Saturday at 9:30 a.m. To
