Long queues outside MBS Apple store at noon
On Thursday (10 Sep), the MBS Apple Store officially opened its doors to the public.
That is, only for those who were quick enough to snag an appointment time slot.
This measure was in place to limit the number of visitors in line with Covid-19 health and safety precautions.
According to TODAY, the public was also told to limit their visits to 15 minutes.
Even though visitors had specific time slots, a long queue had already formed outside the store around noon.Â
If you did not manage to book a time slot, not to worry, from tomorrow (11 Sep) onwards, the MBS Apple store will be allowing walk-in visitors.

Not to worry, the store will be around for a long time, so there will be plenty of opportunities to visit in the weeks to come.
