Apple opens 2nd store in Tianjin

Xinhua, March 27, 2016 Adjust font size:

Apple on Saturday opened a second store in north China's Tianjin Municipality as it speeds up expansion in the country.

So far this year, Apple has opened seven new stores in China. The new store in Tianjin is the 35th in the Greater China region.

More than 500 Apple fans queued in front of the new store at the Tianjin Hang Lung Plaza before the store opened on Saturday morning.
