It will NOT be in the old Caban space
I heard from a lady friend of mine who works at Reitmans that Apple will be taking over thier space, as they will be moving into the new expansion as soon as it is completed.
Unfortunatly I don't have pictures of the space, but it is on the lower level, near the Williams-Sonoma. I don't think it has street access, but I'm not sure because I have never been in that particular store.
As of writing this message, it would seem that Apple has taken down job listings for Calgary from their site (again). From what I understand, Reitmans has to be out of the store in less than 3 months, so we can expect the Apple store to open in the spring.

Wow i wish i knew about this sooner! I am in calgary. So next time I am in chinook i will have a look at the place. I also think Calgary is a great place for this. It is a very rich city. The housing market is ISANE! We just stopped climbing in the housing market the average house is something like $400,000 and that is not any 2 floor house..........
EDIT: http://www.jimsparrow.com/market-stats.php average sale price anywhere from $300,000 in the low end corner of town too $491,000

The current Reitman's space is PERFECT for Apple.
-3,651 square feet
-33'-0" wide mall frontage
-Deep, rectangular layout
-Directly adjacent to Williams-Sonoma
-Extra tall storefront with maximum exposure
Some pics of the space as it exists, and the mall lease plan.
Awesome news. Thanks for the tidbit, Burntfire.

Just a little? how about a lot! And you have to live in a popular canadian city
that has a huge population for you to like a mac or be a mac user for that matter? gawd. where are you from exactly?
why don't you ask the apple people why they chose calgary (umm.. probably the same reason why williams-sonoma and pottery barn--to name a few-- chose calgary to be their flagship store in alberta). oh and i suggest next time.. think before you type and save yourself a lot embarassment!
Umm, thanks for defending Calgary. But no need to get all worked up
First off I just phoned chinook mall. http://southcentre.shopping.ca/cambridge/jsp5/cu_cu.jsp?mallid=sou the public relations manager. And they do not know who is going into Reitman's. She said she would say if she knew where apple is moving into. They currently have NOT decided on a place according to this public relations manager. But she says they are still in talks with apple but have not signed a contract.
Now you have to remember I don't know how much she would tell if she even knew...but it sounded like its safe to say it is not confirmed its going into Reitman's.

Wow great news! Its too bad i live in the NW and dont ever shop at Chinnok.
But they need a store downtown! Downtown Calgary has the most square feet of office space in Canada. I would hope they build a store in the Encana tower when it opens in the next few years. Thats one cool building, with lots of new retail space comming as well.
Apple Downtown Calgary store. Opening 2010 please.

I've been to Calgary - what a wonderful city...
I sure hope they get to work soon on this... It'll give me a reason to go up to Chinook for something, plus it would be nice to have a real apple people presence to talk to here rather than our two resellers
I hope construction won't take too long
BTW with the 800M$ expansion (IIRC) that Chinook is planning, Apple will be perfectly set up if it makes it's move now.... (Maybe they will eventually open up into an even larger custom space...)
