Apple (Cupertino, Calif.) announced on Monday that it plans to close its store at Parkland Mall in the Zhongshan District of Dalian City, China. This marks the first time Apple is shuttering a store in China.

Apple cites the changing environment of Parkland Mall as reason for the closure. However, the closure also comes as the retailer navigates a rocky economic situation in China, according to the Economic Times. Apple currently has 56 stores in China, and 530 locations globally.

The Parkland Mall store is set to close on Aug. 9.
