Apple opens showroom in Capital
Customers aren't the
only ones who get to discover new things at the Apple Retail Store. Every
location provides regular training, which counts as work time, to keep you up
to date on the latest Apple and third-party products. You can also get training
to help you move ahead as a Genius, Creative, or Manager — or to transition to
one of those tracks from your current position.
Apple has opened its
first showroom in Kathmandu by appointing SG Global as the authorized
distributor for Nepal. The company will provide a wide range of Apple products
from the outlet.
Akhil Gupta, executive director of the company, said that" the
retail store was one of its kinds in the Kathmandu valley offering genuine
Apple products and quality accessories. He added that they had opened the
showroom to offer customers a unique experience."
He supposed that "Customers
will be able to touch, feel and experience every product at the showroom,".
"They can learn everything related with the use of Apple products such as
how to download applications and use the photo browser, among other
things."
Spread over an area of
1,350 sq ft at Naxal, the store offers iMac in 21-in and 27-in models at prices
ranging from Rs 166,199 to Rs 271,299. The company offers Mac Book Pro and Mac
Book Air in the price range of Rs 124,399 to Rs 244,699. Likewise, the iPod
Shuffle 2 GB, iPod Nano 16 GB and iPod Classic and iPod Touch 16 GB and 32 GB
are available in the price range of Rs 6,799 to Rs 41,799.
Gupta said that they
would be selling the Apple iPhone and accessories soon in the market. The
company plans to open more retail stores elsewhere in Kathmandu and in other
districts. He added that sales of premium range products had been swelling with
a growing number of technology enthusiasts.
"The market was
growing, but there was no authorized dealer in Nepal. So we opened a
state-of-the-art showroom in the Kathmandu valley," he added. "We aim
to develop the showroom as a `concept store' where customers can learn about
various technologies and programmers besides buying our products and obtaining
after sales service."
