Apple to close retail stores for several hours
Apple Company plans to close some of its retail stores for at least an hour Wednesday, according to two people familiar with the matter, a gesture that coincides with the company's planned celebration of co-founder Steve Jobs's life at its headquarters, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Retail employees were informed that a private company event was scheduled and that the retail stores will temporarily close during that time, according to two people who work for Apple but aren't authorized to speak on its behalf. One of the employees said the event would last for up to three hours.
The memorial will be held at 10 a.m. at Apple’s Cupertino headquarters and was announced last week in an email to employees from CEO Tim Cook. Apple says it is a private event, the Washington Post reports.
