In the summer of this year, Ron Johnson officially announced that he will leave the Apple company starting on November 1 to become the CEO of JC Penny, and starting today the former VP of Apple took over his position in the new company. Ron Johnson is the man who designed the Apple Store and the company's entire chain of stores, and from today those in Cupertino will have to find a replacement. Apple stores are some of the most popular in the world, they even ended up being cloned by the Chinese and it will be difficult to replace a man who built an extremely well-organized and much-loved retail network.
Within Apple there are extremely many very well trained people and it will be interesting to see who Johnson will be replaced with and his successor must continue on the same upward trend with the stores. I hope that in the future those from Apple will find it opportune to launch a store in Romania, but I think that until 2015, when we should make the transition to the euro currency, we will not have opened a store of the company from Cupertino.
