US technology major Apple is hiring for multiple retail vacancies before opening a new outlet in Abu Dhabi.
On Thursday, the iPhone maker confirmed that it would open its fourth UAE store in Al Maryah Island in Abu Dhabi.
It operates one store in Yas Mall, the Mall of the Emirate and The Dubai Mall.
"A new Apple Store will open its doors in a location that sits at the heart of Abu Dhabi's Al Maryah Island. Apple Al Maryah Island will have a front-row view of the waterfront promenade and will be a home for customers to explore their creativity, discover new products, and receive the best support from the new retail team," Apple said in a statement last week.
It also announced doubling the size of its Yas Mall outlet in January to meet the growing demand for Apple products.
According to YouGov's Brand Buzz Rankings 2021, released last week, iPhone and Apple took the second and third spots, respectively, for generating the most positive buzz in the UAE last year. The brands were ranked based on the Buzz score, which asks respondents, "If you've heard anything about the brand in the last two weeks, through advertising, news or word of mouth, was it positive or negative?"
