Today, Apple Tysons Corner re-opens in the heart of Fairfax County, Virginia, USA. The Apple Store location opened its doors to customers 22 years ago on 19 May 2001, introducing the magic of Apple retail to the world. Apple has since opened over 500 Apple Store locations around the world.
“From the moment we opened our first store at Tysons Corner in northern Virginia, we have prided ourselves on delivering an unparalleled retail experience where our customers can discover products and services that unlock creativity and empower them to do incredible things,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “Today we’re thrilled to welcome customers to the beautifully re-imagined Apple Tysons Corner.”
“For 22 years, we’ve been building and deepening relationships with our customers at Apple Tysons Corner, and we’re incredibly excited to invite the community to this beautiful new space where the best of Apple comes together,” said Deirdre O’Brien, Apple’s senior vice president of Retail. “Our team is ready to provide exceptional service and help everyone get the most out of Apple’s latest products and services.”

Sustainability in Stores

As part of Apple’s commitment to sustainability, Apple Tysons Corner has made significant reductions in petrochemical and carbon-intensive materials. The uniquely designed ceiling is made of biogenic acoustic panels and baffles, minimising the dependency on metals, while the flooring is created with biopolymers, reducing the need for chemical resins. Like all Apple facilities, Apple Tysons Corner runs on 100 per cent renewable energy and is carbon-neutral.
