Apple Store: Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an Apple Store in Pakistan?
Yes, though it isn’t 100% owned by Apple Computer as most US Apple Stores are. The Apple Stores in Pakistan are a joint venture with the local Raffles Computer company. These guys have been assembling and manufacturing PCs for many years under their own brand, but are also one of Apple’s largest resellers in Pakistan. The opening for the Apple Store in Lahore was pretty high profile. The US Ambassador to Pakistan, Anne Patterson, did the honours.
