An Apple store will open on Woodward Avenue this fall, just as the tech giant says goodbye to a location in the suburbs, Crain's reports.

Why it matters: Apple's departure from The Mall at Partridge Creek in Clinton Township is another blow for the open-air shopping center, which has had an Apple store since 2007.

Context: The mall went into receivership in 2021 and has lost tenants, although some stores moved in last year, the Detroit News reported.

Between the lines: Apple's arrival downtown has been rumored for years.

The store will be next to the Shinola hotel, at 1430 Woodward Ave., per Crain's.

What they're saying: "We're excited to open our new retail location in downtown Detroit later this year. As we prepare to open, we will not continue our lease at Apple Partridge Creek, and all of our valued team members will have the opportunity to continue their roles with Apple," the company said in a statement sent to Axios.

The intrigue: The company didn't give specific dates of when the Detroit store will open or when the Clinton Township store will close.

Zoom out: Apple's shifting footprint will leave it with six stores in Michigan. Only 11 states have more.
