Simply Mac Closes at West Acres Mall

The store closed for business after Apple ends agreement with the chain

UPDATED CONTENT:

Yet another store is closing its doors at West Acres Mall.

Simply Mac has closed for business.

It comes after Apple Corporation ended its agreement with the chain.

The lack of Apple products made Simply Mac’s business model impossible to continue.

The store opened its West Acres location in August 2014.

The closing is one of a number that have occurred in the past few weeks…

But management says it’s all a part of the life cycle of any healthy mall.

“We’re very, very, very close on a handful of deals … we’d love to tell you right now, but we can’t until we have them signed,” said Chris Heaton, Senior Vice President of Property Management at West Acres Mall. “The important thing is that we have activity on everyone of these spaces that have come back to us.”

Store personnel will be on site over the next few days to help customers pick up repaired items.

Simply Mac is the fifth store to announce its closure at the mall within the last few weeks.
