In the early days of Marina Bay Sands when folks were still awestruck about the brand new luxury hotel that popped up along the Singapore River, there was a swanky superclub called Avalon. And it shut down for good in 2013 after just two years in operation.
These days, something entirely new has taken up residence in its stead — and I don’t think it’s going away that soon, even in this economy.
It is, as you can tell already, Apple’s newest retail store in Singapore; its third one after setting up base in Orchard Road and Jewel Changi Airport. And it’ll be officially open come Thursday (Sept 10).
It is also, as the marketing spiel has abundantly made clear, the world’s first floating Apple Store. Honestly, though, it’s not a giant orb that’s actually staying afloat on water — can’t imagine that’s a good plan to keep all the precious gizmos within secured in place and its employees free of seasickness. Apple Marina Bay Sands is still very much a tethered, stable structure so there’s no need to pop saltines when you drop by the store.
