This seems to be the case in many parts of the world. Here is a picture of an "iShop" store in Guatemala City: https://maps.app.goo.gl/GRuxFf5iupVfJApz8

And we don't necessarily need to step out of the western world to see it. I still remember Authorized Retailers in France before the expansion of Apple stores beyond the US. In Denmark, there is still exclusively these "Premium Authorized Resellers".

There's lots of them in Poland even though Apple now has official presence in the country(although online only, I don't think they have any official Apple Stores yet).

Well, yeah, maybe the furniture and interior design looks the same as in "real" Apple stores, but if you look at the sign outside of the store (can't link to the specific photo on Google Maps unfortunately) there's little danger of confusion...
