Apple Store to close at The Mall at Partridge Creek in Clinton Township

Apple is saying farewell to The Mall at Partridge Creek.

The tech giant confirmed late Wednesday, July 16, that it plans to close its Apple Store at the Clinton Township outdoor shopping center.

An Apple representative didn't say why they are leaving Partridge Creek, although a statement from the company attributed the closing to the planned future opening of a new Apple Store in downtown Detroit.

While the Detroit store's location has not been officially announced, it is expected to be inside a row of storefronts between 1426 and 1434 Woodward — just north of the Shinola Hotel and the redeveloped Hudson's site.

Apple's statement on July 16 didn't say precisely when the Partridge Creek store will close or when the Detroit store will open, aside from the opening happening sometime this year.

All workers at the Partridge Creek store will be given the opportunity to continue their roles at the Detroit store, the statement said.

The Apple Store is an original tenant of Partridge Creek, which opened in October 2007.

Other recent departures from the outdoor shopping center include Bar Louie, which closed June 29, and Forever 21, which closed earlier this year after the retailer filed for bankruptcy.

"We’ve loved serving the Partridge Creek community for nearly 20 years," the Apple statement said, "and look forward to welcoming our customers at our other stores in the Detroit metro area, including nearby Apple Somerset, as well as Apple.com and the Apple Store app.”
