Biography|Tim Cook — His Barcelona Flagship Opened at Number 1 Passeig de Gràcia
kevin
On 28 July 2012 Apple opened three floors at Passeig de Gràcia 1, on Plaça de Catalunya.
Doors opened at 10 a.m.
People had queued more than twenty hours. The first 4,000 received a shirt. Three hundred staff clapped the first two through the door.
The house had been a Banesto branch. Gaudí-style mosaics of iOS icons wrapped the facade before opening.
John Browett ran retail.
Cook had been chief executive for eleven months. Jobs had been dead nine months.
La Maquinista, the first store in Spain, had opened twenty-two months earlier in a mall.
This is a different pin and a different morning.
A visitor still comes off the passeig into number 1.
Cover: Plaça de Catalunya, the square the shop faces. No free public photograph of the 2012 mosaic wrap was located.
