Simply Mac stores closing amid apparent corporate restructuring
Hello,
In Europe, Apple adopted another strategy to kill the local existing Apple reseller channel.
While opening Apple stores in major countries, Apple simply drasticaly reduced its deliveries to regular partner, forcing them to bankrupt.
In France (Ebizcuss - http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/06/25/ebizcuss_french_apple_reseller),or in Nethelands icentre http://www.macg.co/2013/06/un-réseau-de-34-apple-premium-resellers-en-faillite-aux-pays-bas-71367
So if your read between the lines one might guess that Apple is'just killing some US partners to gain more marketshare sold direcly by the brand, it brings more margin and control on the sales process
