The much-anticipated first Apple retail store in Korea will open on Garosu-gil in southern Seoul on Jan. 27. Just like in other Apple stores across the globe, customers can have their devices repaired, try out and buy new products and take lessons from staff at the new store. It will be open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day. The storefront is still covered with white boards, but a large Apple logo with a phrase meaning “glad to meet you” in Korean printed below ensures passersby know that the American tech giant will soon be moving in. The opening of the first Apple store on the home turf of its biggest rival Samsung Electronics comes nine years after the iPhone first hit Korean shelves. Apple signed a 20-year contract for the 526-square-meter (5,661-square-foot) space that will house the standalone Apple shop in March 2016.
