The so-called retail apocalypse has claimed another major casualty — and this time, it’s one of the biggest names in tech. Apple is shuttering its store at the North County Mall in Escondido in June, citing “declining conditions” at the struggling shopping center – a move that underscores the growing crisis facing malls across Southern California. The iPhone giant confirmed the closure as part of a broader decision to pull out of three mall locations nationwide, including sites in Connecticut and Maryland.
