Since George Floyd's death by a police officer and it was noted that it was a racial crime, support around the world has not stopped. Apple has joined with several initiatives before this very reprehensible fact. Now without warning has changed the name of the Glasgow Apple Store in Scotland.
Since the events began in honor of George Floyd, killed by a police officer in Minneapolis because of his skin color, Apple has joined with various initiatives. One of the most recent has been the creation of an economic fund for the fight against racism.
However, the last action of Apple in support of Black Lives Matter that has passed around the world, has been the renaming of the Glasgow Apple Store in Scotland. Until now the store was called Buchanan Street.
Andrew Buchanan, was a Scottish tobacco merchant and a select group of the so-called "Tobacco Lords" from Glasgow. He was also famous for another of his businesses, the slave trade. For this reason, Apple has decided to change the name of the store.
Now it's simply called Apple Glasgow and for the moment it is closed due to the global pandemic due to the coronavirus, although it is expected that they will return to "normality" starting June 15. If you search the Internet for "Apple Gasglow" the result offered by Google is the old name, but when you enter, the new name is already reflected on the Apple page. It will be a matter of time before Google updates its search engine.
With this name change, which has not been announced by the company, it also wants to support symbolically to the protests that are unfolding across the British country.
