Apple Hornsby in Australia to close in October 2025

Apple will permanently shutter one of its Australian locations later this year, choosing to instead direct customers to a newly revamped store.

Apple Hornsby opened in 2011 and now, fourteen years later, will cease operations in October. The closure will coincide with the reopening of Apple Chatswood Chase.

The news, spotted by MacRumors, was shared by EFTM on Monday. When it reopens, Apple says the renovated store will feature support from more than 120 team members, an express pick-up zone, and, of course, free Today at Apple sessions.

Apple Chatswood Chase is approximately nine miles, or 14.5 kilometers, southwest of Apple Hornsby. As EFTM points out, Chatswood Chase will serve the majority of the North Shore area; Apple Castle Towers is also a decent alternative for those who frequented Apple Hornsby.

Apple released the following statement addressing the closing:

“As we prepare to make these updates we have chosen to not renew our lease in Hornsby; however, we will remain open until October 2025, after which all team members will have the opportunity to work at Apple Chatswood Chase or other Apple Store locations.”

Below is a video that shows the Apple Store Hornsby grand opening — all the way back in September 2011.

While a closure does come with a bit of sadness, it’s worth noting that Apple has six other stores in the Sydney area.

Apple recently opened another Australia location, Apple Store Perth City, in June.
