New Phoenix-area Store!
Just got a verbal report (based on a storefront blacked out, nothing but "Apple.com" in the windows, and a mall staffer confirming it) of a new Store going in the Arrowhead Town Center in Glendale (75th Ave/Bell Rd) between Sephora and Naturalizer. Long overdue for the West Valley, but not the location I would've guessed.
Oh, happy day!
Well, maybe not. My bank account will start taking some serious hits...
I'll try & get some photos if I get by there in the next few days.

I drove by it tonight around 9 all lit up, It's gorgeous! There were still people inside setting up and cleaning things.
I won a contest and I'll be covering the event for http://www.ifoapplestore.com on Thursday.

23 Wall is directly across from the NY Stock Exchange. 15 Broad is not very far from there (actually next door). 23 Wall is on the corner of Wall and Broad. That corner (Wall and Broad) is a huge tourist area, as there's a big statue of George Washington there (Federal Hall). A photo op of the big flag hung by the NYSE and Trinity Church up the block.
Very cool. This entire area is turning Condo anyway, it's not so much a financial district any more.

For sure thing; Apple.com Jobs has opportunities for positions @ the Arrowhead Centre
4 apple stores within Phoenix, interesting.
Apple really wants to come to Greenville, SC but can't get any love from property sites. We were supposed to get an Apple store a long time ago in Haywood Mall, but there's no appropriate space for it. Then we were supposed to get one at the new Magnolia Park (originally slated for Fall 2009, now pushed back to Summer 2010). Since they're acting up and in all reality probably won't open until 2012 (this place has been pushed back several times in the past couple of years), it looks like Apple is trying once again in downtown Greenville.
I hope the downtown location works, because if so, we might be getting a store as soon as Spring/Summer 2009!!
Actually it's back to late 2009-early 2010 again according to a recent Greenville News article on the development.
Apple is not coming downtown. Iplace is though. In other news, a new mini Apple Store will be opening at the Best Buy in Greenville on May 30th at 10AM.Oh god I'm so happy!
I found out today that they got their design plan approved! It's coming this year! 
An Apple store just opened today in Brandon, Florida at the Westfield Shoppingtown Mall... thats about a 20 minute drive from me... and a 20 minute drive from another Apple Store in Tampa at the International Mall.
i didn't go to the opening this morning to the Brandon store due to high gas prices

15 Best Buy stores in South Carolina including Greenville, Spartanburg, and Anderson to get mini Apple Store: http://www.greenvilleonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080530/BUSINESS/805300326/1003
Awesome! I'll make my first purchase from there when the 3G iPhone launches. Did you know that AT&T has been testing 3G in the Greenville, Spartanburg, and Clemson areas for the past 2 weeks? How ironic!!
A friend of mine just started working for a new architecture firm here in Santa Barbara, and the firm is going to be building the new Apple store we're getting. She's in interior design, and hopefully can get me a sneak peek before it opens.
I just looked on the apple.com site. They have positions for the Charleston store. How long before they post for jobs that the store actually opens?
Depends on the type of store. Inside mall stores are usually between 6 and 9 months. Stand alone stores, like the the Charleston one, can be longer, and if there is any delay in permits it can be significantly longer. My bet would be they try to get it open for the holiday season, but if you want to track it look at the city's planning commission for the progress.
Hi Sayhey. I missed you around here. Thanks for the information. I will take a look at the city's website to see if I can find anything out.
It's scheduled to open around the end of the year with Greenville's opening in late 2009/early 2010. No plans for Columbia right now. Spartanburg's Apple Store at Best Buy opened earlier today.
Greenville, SC Best Buy Apple Store:
Hey, that's me! I'm standing next to the sign talking to the chimney sweep dude.
Thanks Lil, I would love to take time off from work to go to the grand opening.
Galley is that really you? Kinda neat isn't it when you spot yourself in a photo.
