LOS ANGELES Apple today previewed its newest retail location at the historic Tower Theatre in downtown Los Angeles. One of Apple’s most significant restoration projects to date, Apple Tower Theatre aims to inspire even more creativity in the heart of downtown. Apple will also launch Today at Apple Creative Studios, a global initiative that will provide hands-on experience and mentorship to young creatives, kicking off with the opening of the new store in Los Angeles.

The theatre has undergone a complete seismic upgrade and will be enjoyed by generations to come.
Apple Tower Theatre is Apple’s 26th location in greater Los Angeles. The store’s nearly 100 talented retail team members join more than 3,000 Apple Store employees across the region. Also based in Los Angeles, Apple TV+ works with many of the world’s most creative storytellers and supports thousands of jobs in the creative industry across California.
“At every corner, Los Angeles bursts with creativity across the arts, music, and entertainment, and we are thrilled to build on our relationship with this special city,” said Deirdre O’Brien, Apple’s senior vice president of Retail + People. “Apple Tower Theatre honors the rich history and legacy of this entertainment capital.”
Tower Theatre’s legacy of technological innovation continues today as the perfect venue to discover Apple’s full line of iPhone, iPad, and Mac, and to inspire creativity with Today at Apple sessions.

A Building Steeped in History

Originally home to the first theatre in Los Angeles wired for film with sound, the historic Tower Theatre was designed in 1927 by renowned motion-picture theatre architect S. Charles Lee. That legacy of technological innovation continues today as the perfect venue to discover Apple’s full line of iPhone, iPad and Mac, each of which has transformed modern-day filmmaking, photography and music composition.
Upon the closing of its doors in 1988, the space has lain empty and unused. With the same level of care found in previous restoration projects, Apple collaborated with leading preservationists, restoration artists, and the City of Los Angeles to thoughtfully preserve and restore the theatre's beauty and grandeur. Every surface was carefully refinished, and the building has undergone a full seismic upgrade.
Apple Tower Theatre anchors the corner of Eighth Street and Broadway, where visitors will immediately recognise the fully restored clock tower, recreated Broadway marquee, clean terra cotta exterior and renovated historic blade sign. After walking through the Broadway doors, guests enter the monumental lobby inspired by Charles Garnier’s Paris Opera house, featuring a grand arched stairway with bronze handrails flanked by marble Corinthian columns.

In the heart of the store is the Forum and signature video wall, sitting underneath the fully restored arch and surrounded by the theatre’s original balconies. The Forum will be home to Today at Apple, where free daily sessions led by Apple team members and members of the local creative community provide inspiration and teach practical skills. The expansive auditorium, surrounded by embellished arched bays and restored bronze, displays all of customers’ favourite products, including the all-new iMac, iPad Pro and Apple TV 4K.
Visitors looking for service and support from Apple team members have ample space, as the theatre’s original seating on the upper level has been modernised and made accessible to create an open, flexible space for Genius Bar appointments. Two new lifts have been installed in the theatre, welcoming all customers to every level of the new store.
