Fake Apple

There are 25 fake Apple Store were found in KunMing,China. There are using the same shop design as the real Apple store, almost exactly  the same as the real one. Some staffs who works in there thought they were acutely working for Apple.

The fake stores were exactly selling the real Apple products without permission from Apple.

However, the fake Apple store were selling very well, that's how they became 25 stores in KunMing. Apple only have 4 retail store in China locate in Beijing and Shanghai.

There are some customers complaining about the closing of the fake Apple stores.  

Apple didn't say anything about the fake Apple store case. 

I think Apple underestimate the needs of their products in China. The fake store were using and selling Apple's brand, logo and product. To Apple, It was free advertises and free selling agency. Although they did not use a legal way to bring the product to China, and with no permission. But they still bought all the products from an Apple store that locate in another country.

If I was the manager of Apple, I would be more than happy to see this. and the next step would be expand in China.
