Biography|Tim Cook — He Opened Asia's Largest Store Across from Jing'an Temple
kevin
On 21 March 2024 Tim Cook opened the doors at 1699 West Nanjing Road.
The store faces Jing'an Temple.
It is Apple's eighth shop in Shanghai, its 57th in Greater China, and the largest in Asia — second only to Fifth Avenue.
Doors opened at 7 p.m.
Some people had queued since the night before.
Cook arrived with Deirdre O'Brien, then head of retail.
He greeted the first customers on the plaza. He did not give a speech.
Police managed the crowd.
Inside: more than 150 staff and a six-week Today at Apple series built around Shanghai makers.
The Shanghai Symphony's youngest players performed.
A visitor still steps off Nanjing Road West into a plaza that looks at the temple roof.
