Hallelujah, Lebanon is Getting a Dedicated Apple Store in Downtown Beirut

Post-edit at the end.

Though there are thousands of cellphone shops in Beirut and in the country, this new official Apple Store will make a huge difference for Apple users.

The Apple Store in Manhattan, NYC

Sources exclusive to Beirut.com note that the store, said to open next year, will be located in Downtown Beirut.

Thus far, there have only been authorized premium resellers operating in Lebanon (iStyle and Interlink being the most popular).

Probably the best part of this is that you will be attended to by the Apple “Geniuses” – the unusual job title of Apple retail employees. This will ensure that your Apple products will get the official Apple treatment, and will be handled by professionals who know the system, will use original parts, and are trained to perform proper fixes.

With over 470 Apple Stores worldwide, we’re happy to see Lebanon joining the fun!

Hi everyone! We just spoke to our source again and got some clarification. Our source is no longer 100% sure that this will be an official Apple Store but there is DEFINITELY a store that will be solely dedicated to Apple products, services, and retail that is different than what we’ve had so far.

It is not insanely outlandish that Beirut would have an Apple Store – we hope this will happen soon!

We amended this post to reflect the new information as we learned it.
