Description: Michigan Avenue in Chicago has featured two major Apple stores. The company’s first flagship in 2003, which featured a green roof, and their first new generation flagship in 2017, which featured a super-thin carbon fiber roof. This more recent store is one of Apple’s most unique. Its award-winning concept, design, and construction set a new standard for the company. And it all began in 2014 when Angela Ahrendts became Apple’s senior vice president of retail and online stores.
