Chances are, there is an Apple gadget in every home on your street, maybe even in your state!
This legendary computer brand opened its first dedicated U.S. store in 2001 and soon began to rapidly spread throughout the country and the world.
Today, there are over 400 Apple stores in the world where customers can enjoy first-class Apple customer service, get help with old and new Apple gadgets, and shop for the latest Apple devices available.
As you would expect, Apple stores are not like your usual store. They are just as impressive and exciting as their products.
But, what you may not know is that no two stores are the same.
Unlike Apple devices, such as iPhones and iPads, certain model lines are identical to each other, but when an Apple Store opens, it becomes a new landmark that must be explored.
Today, we are going to share the five most amazing and coolest Apple Store in the U.S. that you should visit. Each one is completely unique and a world unto itself. So, let’s get started so you can plan your next trip!
Address: Address: 801 W North Ave, Chicago, IL 60642
We start in Chicago where this Apple Store has been designed as a stand-alone building away from any other surrounding buildings.
Located in the northern area of urban Chicago, this Apple Store is a must-visit if you’re near Lincoln park.
This store has everything you would expect from an Apple design. It is modern and highly efficient. In fact, it is somewhat like a subway (but a lot nicer and cleaner).
It is large and metallic with a welcoming feel as you step inside. We highly recommend visiting this store if you’re in the Chicago area!
Next, we head to the sunny streets of Santa Barbara, California. Unlike our first Apple Store above, and most throughout the United States, this building has a more rustic appeal and appearance.
In order to remain faithful to Santa Barbara’s historic streets, Apple decided to ditch the ultra-modern look of so many of their stores and stick with something more traditional, blending in perfectly with the El Pueblo Viejo architecture.
Inside, it is just as modern and classy as any Apple Store, though.
The warm exterior colors invite you into a welcoming, spacious, and relaxing interior with everything any Apple device owner will ever need.
We’re pretty sure you’ll spend some time in this store and probably leave with a new gadget to play with.
Where better to visit an Apple Store than in the Big Apple itself? And, when you visit this Apple Store, it certainly lives up to the Big Apple name tag! Just one glance at this building and your jaw will drop.
You are met with a towering glass cube that measures 32 feet in height. Although the surrounding buildings in New York are breathtaking, this Apple Store stands out from its surrounding architecture.
Considering this store is parked next to household luxury stores, including Prada, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton to name a few, it’s a testament to how unique its design is that it is what catches everyone’s eye.
Step inside and you can enjoy the best customer service possible and great views of the New York City streets as you look out through the futuristic glass panes.
Now, we travel from New York to Boston to check out the largest Apple Store in the United States.
You can be forgiven for thinking this is the Apple headquarters due to its sheer size, but no, it’s simply an incredible, stylish store.
Designed with an iconic glass structure and a stone storefront, this store would look out of place in many streets, but not here. It fits in perfectly with its surroundings.
Three stories tall, it is a feast for the eyes (and the neck) and it even comes with a rooftop garden to help reduce the building’s carbon footprint.
Also, once you splash the cash on a new Apple product, you can chill out on the rooftop and take in all the Apple goodness this building has to offer.
We finish our list with this modern engineering marvel. Situated on the streets of Philly, this store looks like a futuristic King’s palace with a silver facade and glass design.
Once inside, you can enjoy world class, efficient service from the employees and get transactions done in a heartbeat with no lines. Dream come true!

There are so many Apple stores to visit in the U.S. but these are our favorite and the coolest right now. Let us know which ones you visit and any worthy mentions we may have missed.
