While the pop-up stores are, obviously, a brick-and-mortar option, these Apple products and discounts are also available at Target.com and via the Target app. Apple shop-within-a-shop stores have popped up in more than 150 Target stores (opens in new tab), enhancing an already firm relationship the two retailers enjoyed. That number is more than three times the number of previous Apple stores inside a Target store. The first Apple shop-in-shop at Target opened in February 2021, during the pandemic.Subscribe to Kiplinger s Personal Finance
