The Drake Circus branch of the store was closed suddenly yesterday without explanation and staff were unable to say when it would reopen. The shop reopened this morning, but no-one from Apple is able to reveal why it was closed.
It is understood the branch had to close for maintenance, with a number of people claiming online there had been flooding in a back room. The store reopened this morning as normal. Apple staff were at Drake Circus yesterday to offer customer assistance. The Herald received a tip-off on Facebook yesterday from a frustrated customer who said: "Something occurring in the Apple shop, just gone in to get a new screen, and they said due to a global incident they cannot trade!!!!!" Five employees in Apple t-shirts were seen apologising to members of the public outside the Plymouth store at 11am.
