Egypt's foreign trade minister is asking for a local Apple Store


Apple could expand its worldwide network of brick and mortar Apple Store into Egypt, as the country's foreign trade minister has given the company an explicit invite to do so.

The process of finding a location and constructing the store, not to mention securing permits and permission to do so, can take years to complete. The developments in Egypt have largely gone by quietly, due in part to the bulk of attention being focused on China and India, as well as the United States. Apple operates innovation hubs, development offices, and support teams around the world, but they don't draw as much attention as what's happening in those three countries.
