Apple Store Saket: How does it look?
Located at a prominent mall, Select City Walk in South Delhi Saket, the store barricade has a unique design that takes inspiration from Delhi’s many gates. Interestingly, the store is half in size as the one opened at the Jio World Drive at BKC Mumbai, but Apple is paying the same rent for both stores. The rent is about 40 lakhs a month. The store is located at F-11 in the Select City Walk, Saket Mall.
The store has a unique curved storefront design and white oak tables displaying products and accessories. The Saket store is also 100% sustainable, just like the BKC one. “Apple Saket and Apple’s operations in India run on 100% renewable energy and are carbon neutral,” Apple claimed in a statement.
