tabZ opens the largest Apple store in Sri Lanka

One of Colombo’s authorised Apple Resellers, tabZ by DPJ Holdings re-launched its store in Liberty Plaza recently, making it the largest Apple store in Sri Lanka. 

The all-new tabZ store located on the 1st floor of Liberty Plaza, Colombo will now offer the full range of Apple products inclusive of the entire iPhone, iPad, MacBook, iMac and Apple TV range, along with all the accessories that people will need to complement their purchase.

The country’s largest Apple store is now fully-equipped to cater to its loyal Apple fans with unparalleled customer service through their well-trained and friendly in-store staff who are committed to offering both before- and after-sales technical support. 

With the achievement of the Apple authorised Enterprise Reseller status, tabZ now has a dedicated corporate team that operates separately to serve all its corporate clients offering personalised services to all its clients. tabZ is also located on the lower ground floor of Unity Plaza and in addition to this, showrooms out of Colombo are also envisaged, especially in key cities such as Jaffna, Galle and Kandy.

All Apple products at tabZ are TRCSL approved and sold with a genuine Apple warranty. tabZ also guarantees the best price across its product range, extending the affordability of Apple merchandise to a greater share of middle and lower middle class individuals in the country.

Explaining his vision for Apple in Sri Lanka, DPJ Holdings Chairman/CEO Dr. Prasantha Jayamanna said: “Apple products no longer cater only to high-profile CEOs and top management executives. It is now an affordable device that a middle class family could use and experience the productivity and day-to-day ease it brings to our lives. From effectively managing your work, to sharing information with your friends, to using it as a source of entertainment, Apple is now a lifestyle brand that you can use from the start of your day to its end.”

“Technology such as this breaches barriers and expands our horizons. Using brands such as Apple allows people to see things from a different perspective and innovate. We firmly believe that the time is right for Apple in Sri Lanka. Prices are coming down and people’s disposable income is quite high. Along with this, we will introduce many novel repayment schemes to make Apple a brand that everyone can afford,” he added.

The increased affordability of Apple in Sri Lanka is also expected to bring about several opportunities for Sri Lankans to develop and prosper. For instance, local musicians can use iTunes to sell their music, local developers can create apps which are introduced to the App Store while budding filmmakers can refine their talents using video editing apps. All that is required is the right technology, the right back-end support and a little bit of hype on the limitless possibilities.

Schools, universities and other educational institutions can also use these products as a learning tool. Given the manner in which prices are reducing, it will soon be possible for each classroom to be equipped with tablets. In an attempt to make this a reality, tabZ has already started working with banks and other lending institutions to assist schools.

Established in 1999, DPJ Holdings, the holding company for tabZ, is one of the leading groups of companies in Sri Lanka, spreading its wings over seven diversified industries such as barcode automation/solutions, labels, time and attendance, convenience shopping, leisure, pharmaceuticals and smartphones and tablet PCs.
