Closure[]
On February 18, 2025, it was announced that Apple would close its Northbrook location after two decades, due to a lack of storefronts in recent years. A statement said "At Apple, we're always focused on providing an exceptional experience for all of our customers. With the evolving redevelopment plans at Northbrook Court Mall and the departure of several retailers, we have made the difficult decision to close our store there. We've loved serving the Northbrook community for nearly 20 years, and our valued team members will continue their roles at Apple. We look forward welcoming customers at one of our eight Chicagoland locations, as well as on Apple.com and the Apple Store app."[3][4] The store closed permanently on April 26, 2025.[5]
