It’s been almost a year, but Apple says all 270 of its stores in the United States have opened for the first time since the coronavirus pandemic first began.

Back on March 13, 2020, the company had announced the closure of all Apple Stores outside of China in an effort to help slow the spread of COVID-19. Now, we are getting closer to business as usual.

Of course, all Apple Stores still enforce health and safety guidelines which include limited capacity and mask requirements.

Some of the stores are only offering limited services.

From CNBC:

Not all Apple stores in the U.S. are fully open for walk-in customers to go inside and browse, however. Customers should check Apple’s website before heading to their store in case it is appointment-only or service is limited in other ways.

But while the stores are not all fully operational, it is positive to see some normalcy coming back as we look to return to life before the pandemic changed the way we go about our daily lives.
