Cool Holdings, the parent company of Simply Mac (the largest Apple Premier Partner in the U.S.) announced that it’s begun to reopen and expand the hours of many of its Simply Mac retail stores that had been closed or had hours of operation curtailed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Four stores located in Johnson City, TN, Lubbock, TX, Missoula, MT, and Springfield, MO were opened on May 4, 2020, and two stores located in Bozeman, MT and Ft. Wayne, IN are scheduled to reopen on May 18, 2020. The company had previously reduced hours of operation at all stores by closing on Sundays and Mondays, but is now reopening 28 additional stores on Mondays.
These actions are enabling Simply Mac to rehire many of its employees who were previously laid-off during the closures, says Reinier Voigt, president and chief executive officer of Cool Holdings. After these stores are reopened, there will be 38 Simple Mac stores in operation with six stores still remaining closed for various reasons.
