Simply Mac, 4840 Forest Drive Suite 6B: 9 June 2022 (?) no comments
Simply Mac was an Apple reseller whose strategy was to locate in smaller areas not having an official Apple store. Once part of the Gamestop chain, the brand was spun off in 2019, just in time to run up against the pandemic. Although the stores did re-open later, the damage had been done and a messy Chapter 7 bankruptcy followed. Or at least that is one story. Other stories have other issues compounding, or even overshadowing, the damage from COVID.
Here is The State on the opening of this Trenholm Plaza location, and here is a story from Apple Insider on the bankruptcy.

I was not familiar with this place, but apparently this store was the only Apple authorized repair location in town.
My experience as a computer guy is that Mac stuff is great until it stops working, then it's a real pain to get working again. Granted this impression comes mainly from the software side where everything was so "easy to use" that there were never any diagnostic knobs to tweak, but there you go..
