These unique Apple destination stores offer innovative ideas regarding retail design, interactivity, customer service and support to provide an unrivaled shopping experience.

“We are thrilled to be opening the first iStore in Nigeria, says Rutger-Jan van Spaandonk, iStore’s Executive Director.  iStore’s expert team and amazing customer service are the hallmarks of iStores throughout South Africa and we will strive to deliver the same in Nigeria”.
