How so?

Meanwhile, the Apple Store in Sapporo never reopened (despite what was promised when it closed due renovations in the building) 😞
this.
1.9 million people market.
with Rapidus beginning operations soon in Chitose, and engineers and their families coming in, i think apple will give Sapporo another chance.
