Bristol’s Apple Store closes
The Apple Store in Bristol has shut with no replacement lined up to take its place.
A sign on the window of the former shop in Quakers Friars says: “Thank you, Bristol. Apple Bristol has now closed.”
It comes as plans take shape for a major redevelopment in this corner of Cabot Circus with the shops along Philadelphia Street set to be transformed into “a multilevel arrangement of uses” which could comprise retail, health, workplace and “cultural experiences”, to “ensure a safe and animated environment throughout the day and night”.

When the news was first announced, an Apple spokesperson said: “At Apple, we’re always focused on providing an exceptional experience for all of our customers.
“Due to the redevelopment plans at Cabot Circus Shopping Centre, which include the closure of the section where our store is located, Apple Bristol will close on August 9, 2025.
“We’ve loved serving the Bristol community for over 15 years, and our valued team members will continue their roles at Apple.”
