MacPeople changes to C&C Finland Oy. At the same time, many other things also change: we are now part of a Europe-wide Apple specialty store chain. C&C, which started in Italy and has expanded strongly in recent years, brings its chain expertise and services to Finland, which we small Apple specialty store chains have not been able to afford before.

With the business acquisition completed in spring 2024, MacPeople Oy and 1Store retail chain are now part of Europe's largest Apple dealer, C&C. C&C S.p.a., founded in Bari, Italy in 2001, already operates in six European countries as a chain of 106 Apple stores. We serve our mobile customers 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 move at once from the county league to the European playing fields and gain the corresponding resources and purchase volumes. From now on, the group's strong and competent organization will expand our premium-level expert services. At the same time, our large purchase volume will expand our product selection - with even more affordable prices.

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

A certified Apple service center will also open in the new C&C APP store. The store is open every day of the week, and the service serves both corporate 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.com, where our new online store can also be found.
