Apple has officially announced the launch of its third retail store in India, this time in Bengaluru. The new store, named Apple Hebbal, is set to open its doors on Tuesday, September 2, at 1 PM IST. With this, Apple expands its physical presence in India, following the successful openings of Apple BKC in Mumbai and Apple Saket in New Delhi.
Location
The new Apple Hebbal store is located inside Phoenix Mall in Bengaluru, one of the city’s busiest shopping destinations. This location has been chosen strategically to tap into the tech-savvy and premium-focused customer base in the area. The store is expected to attract not just locals but also people from nearby areas looking for the full Apple retail experience.
Design
Apple is known for blending local culture into its store designs, and the Apple Hebbal barricade is no exception. The company revealed the barricade artwork on Thursday morning. Inspired by the Peacock — India’s national bird — the design is vibrant, rich in color, and represents pride and elegance. This art celebrates Apple’s third store in India and hints at the aesthetic values that the store will embody.
Store Experience
Just like other Apple retail stores globally, the Apple Hebbal outlet will offer more than just product displays. It will have:
- Apple Specialists to guide customers with purchases
- Apple Creatives who run workshops
- Apple Geniuses for technical support
- Dedicated Business teams to assist professional clients
This means that whether you’re looking to buy your first iPhone, get your MacBook repaired, or explore iPad productivity tools, you’ll find personalized support at every step.
Today at Apple
The store will also host “Today at Apple” sessions — a signature initiative from Apple’s global retail stores. These are free, interactive sessions led by experts that focus on helping customers explore and use Apple devices creatively and productively.
Topics covered in these sessions often include:
- Photography and videography
- Drawing and art
- Music production
- Productivity tips
- Coding and app development
All customers have to do is register online or in-store to attend these engaging and informative events.
Timing
The launch of Apple Hebbal is also timed perfectly with the expected global debut of the iPhone 17 series, making it a hotspot for tech enthusiasts looking to try out the latest devices. With the new store opening just days before the launch, Apple fans in Bengaluru will be among the first to experience the new iPhones and other products in person.
India’s Apple Retail Journey
Apple’s retail journey in India began with the opening of Apple BKC in Mumbai in April 2023. This flagship store at Jio World Drive is known for its grand two-level layout and timber ceiling design. It was quickly followed by Apple Saket in New Delhi, located in Select Citywalk Mall.
Here’s a quick comparison of all three Apple Stores in India:
| Store Name | Location | Opening Date |
|---|---|---|
| Apple BKC | Jio World Drive, Mumbai | April 2023 |
| Apple Saket | Select Citywalk, Delhi | April 2023 |
| Apple Hebbal | Phoenix Mall, Bengaluru | September 2025 |
These stores offer a wide range of Apple products like iPhones, iPads, Macs, Apple Watch models, and accessories. Customers can also trade in old devices, set up their new ones with help from Apple staff, and get repair services on-site.
