Maryland leaders join protest
In early April, Apple announced its decision to close three stores: Apple Towson Town Center in Towson (MD), Apple North County in Escondido (CA), and Apple Trumbull in Trumbull (CT).
According to the company, all three stores, which are set to close next month, are located in malls affected by “the departure of several retailers and declining conditions.”
The Towson store quickly became the focus of this news, since it was the first Apple retail location in the United States to unionize.
