Apple Store in Marseille, France set to open May 14 as construction progresses at new SF store

Apple has officially announced that its new retail store in Marseille, France will open May 14 with the usual announcement on its website (via MacGeneration).

The new retail store, located at the Les Terrasses du Port shopping mall, is Apple’s 20th location in France. That’s if including the shop within Galeries Lafayette that it opened last year as one of several boutique locations for sales of the Apple Watch. Apple is also planning other retail stores for the country including a high-profile flagship location on Champs-Élysées in Paris.

And today we also get a look at how work on Apple’s new flagship San Francisco location is progressing with the shot below sent in by a reader (Thanks David O.):

Apple first received approval for the new two-story Union Square retail store a couple of years back. It plans to replace its current Stockton Street location with the new flagship store when construction wraps up. You can see what the store will look like once complete in these renders.

The new Marseille, France store will open 10am local time on May 14 at the Les Terrasses du Port shopping mall.
