If you live in Barcelona, or nearby, and you usually frequent the Apple Store, you have to know something, and that is that in February, it will be closed, without a clear reopening, so you will not be able to buy or repair any brand device there, and you will have to go to another one nearby.
This is due to a simple work that will be carried out, and although we do not know how big it will be, it will have nothing to do with problems in the viability of the store itself, and it will continue to exist, so there is no need to be scared, as it is a temporary closure.
Works at the Apple Store in Barcelona
According to recently published information, The Apple Store on Passeig de Gràcia, in Barcelona, will close temporarily starting in February 2026 to carry out a remodeling of the premises. The news comes from a report cited by MacRumors that details several movements of Apple stores in different cities, and in the specific case of Barcelona it is confirmed that the store is not closing permanently, but only to be renovated.
This closure affects one of Apple's most emblematic stores in Spain, a busy space not only for shopping, but also for receiving support, picking up products and attending sessions and workshops. That is why the news has attracted attention: many users regularly go to this place for convenience or because it is very well located in the heart of Passeig de Gràcia. In addition to tourists, who do not miss the opportunity to take a look.
What is clearly known is the start date of the closure, which is set for February 2026. What has not yet been announced is the duration of the renovation or when it will reopen. There is no official reopening date, so at the moment it can only be assumed that the works could last for several weeks or months.
During this period, those who need to use Apple services will have to go to other official stores or resort to online support. It is likely that Apple will recommend alternatives such as the La Maquinista store or online appointment services while the reform lasts. Luckily, there is another Apple Store in the province, as well as many SAT stores such as K-Tuin or MediaMarkt, who offer us original products and parts, as if it were their own brand.
From a more personal point of view, although it is always a pain temporarily lose a store so central and practical, the idea of renovating it usually makes sense: in the end Apple usually takes advantage of these works to improve the spaces, make them larger, update them to the most recent design and create more comfortable areas for support and workshops. So, although it is annoying in the short term, it is normal that the reopening ends up being beneficial for users. And it makes one thing clear to us, and that is that it has no intention of closing, since when they carry out this type of expensive work, it is due to the opposite, and that is that it is too small for them, and they seek to enhance it even more.
