MacPeople changes to C&C Finland Oy. At the same time, many other things change: we are now part of a Europe-wide Apple specialty store group. C&C, which started in Italy and has expanded significantly in recent years, brings to Finland its expertise and services that we, as small Apple specialty store chains, couldn't previously match.

With the company acquisition completed in spring 2024, MacPeople Oy and the 1Store retail chain are now part of Europe's largest Apple reseller, C&C. Founded in Bari, Italy, in 2001, C&C S.p.a. now operates in six European countries with a chain of 106 Apple stores. We serve our mobile customers just as well in Stockholm as in Turku and, if needed, in Rome.

For our customers, the growth of our scale is definitely positive news. We are moving from provincial league to the European playing fields, gaining resources and purchasing volumes accordingly. From now on, the group's strong and competent organization will expand our premium-level expert services. At the same time, larger purchasing volumes will expand our product range - at more affordable prices.

With the support of Apple and our new owner, we boldly swim against the current and take big steps. In Helsinki, this is realized when we open a new magnificent C&C Apple Premium Partner flagship store in November. Located right in the heart of Helsinki, at Aleksanterinkatu 13, in the legendary Lundqvist commercial building, best known as Aleksi 13.

A certified Apple service will also open in the new C&C APP store. The store is open every day of the week and the service serves both business and consumer customers on-site six days a week.

We welcome all our customers and friends to our services. Online, we will continue to serve at cec.fi, where our new online store is also located.
