Reading time: 3 minutes
One thing we all grew accustomed to throughout the pandemic was businesses closing. But Birmingham was lucky and managed to open a lot of businesses despite the curveballs thrown at it during 2020-2021. One place in particular is The Summit. Here are some of the changes The Summit endured over the past year and what’s newly opened or coming soon.
Closings and Reopenings in 2020-2021
Apple Store
One store at The Summit that endured a temporary pandemic closure was the Apple Store.
As someone who had their laptop computer stop working the moment Zoom became key to our existence, this closure was no fun at all.
Happily, Apple has reopened and is ready to help you with all of your tech needs. As of now, expect social distancing and other safety guidelines when you visit.
