Both stores will close permanently tomorrow, for reasons related to the owner. Apple Bristol is closing due to the owner's redevelopment plans at Cabot Circus Shopping Centre, as well as the neighbouring Bristol Shopping Quarter, while Apple Parkland is closing because the shopping centre has faced financial difficulties and lost several major retailers.
Apple Bristol and Apple Parkland will both open at 10 a.m. local time tomorrow. In Bristol, the doors will close permanently at 5 p.m. local time, while customers in Dalian will have until 8 p.m. local time to visit the store one last time.

While it's sad that Apple is leaving Bristol city centre, customers with transport can visit Apple Cribbs Causeway on the outskirts of the city. Similarly, Apple will continue to operate the Olympia 66 in Dalian.
Additionally, Apple will temporarily close its store at The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace after hours this Saturday for renovations. Apple says the store will reopen on August 31. During the closure, customers can visit the nearby Apple Fashion Show store, also located on the Las Vegas Strip.
