New iSTYLE Apple Premium Partner store opens in Slovakia
At least 2000 Apple fans and guests enjoyed an evening of entertainment and special offers at the new APP store
A new iSTYLE Apple Premium Partner store opened recently at Bratislava Aupark in Slovakia. The store replaces an older retail site in place at Aupark Shopping Mall since 2007 under the m:zone brand. In 2023, m:zone was acquired by iSTYLE.
With the opening of the new store in Bratislava there are now seven iSTYLE outlets in the country. After the original store closed in late May, the iSTYLE team and contractors collaborated diligently to create a new space. They celebrated the grand opening on Saturday, August 2nd, 2025, which attracted over 2,000 attendees throughout the day.
When the big moment arrived for the official opening, cutting the red ribbon was a team job carried out by iSTYLE Slovakia GM, Branislav Rentka, retail manager Martin Kolnik, store manager Tomas Weis and invited VIP, Petr Mara, an influential tech content creator and entrepreneur.
Apple fans are a very keen and hardy bunch. The first customers were in line in front of the store from 7:30 in the morning! To keep them awake and thank them for their passionate support for the iSTYLE and Apple brands, customers waiting in line were served with free drinks of their choice.
Early attendees received a special iSTYLE ‘Premium Stuff’ gift bag, which included T-shirts celebrating the store opening and gifts from 3PP partners.
There was also plenty of entertainment at the opening event. The opening program consisted of workshops, panel discussions and live performances by Petr Mara (tech content creator and entrepreneur), Nina Skalikova (photographer and traveler) and DJ ‘NobodyListen.’
Everything was moderated by the popular morning TV presenter Simona Ondruškova and the day’s presentations and discussions took place on a main stage in the central part of the shopping mall with a podium and a giant LED screen.
After each part of the program, there was an interactive quiz for everybody with a chance to win a Premium Stuff bag. Speakers on stage were also invited for a ‘Meet & Greet’ that took place in front of the store.
