Latest UK Store Revealed
Residents of Liverpool (UK) will no longer have to make the 35-mile drive to Manchester to enjoy an Apple store–they’re getting their own next year when the sprawling Liverpool One urban project opens in city center. The project is more than retail, also encompassing 42-acres of residential, office and open space set among five distinctly-designed districts. According to the developer, it’s intended to create, “a new and compact focal point for urban living and leisure in the 21st century Liverpool.” It will be the 14th store in the UK, behind the nine existing and four other planned stores.

flange, this is a post by Gary over at ifoAppleStore, right? Good post.
 
it may have been posted already, but there is an apple store going up in downtown san luis obispo. with a mac superstore less than two miles away, and the calpoly bookstore two miles in the other direction, we have mac dealers up to our iBalls. wonder if the other stores will stay open?
 
Driving around the new & improved Bayshore Mall in Glendale Wisconsin (suburb of Milwaukee), I noticed a large Apple logo on what appears to be a corner locale of one block.

Will be quite a step-up from the petit cafe store at Mayfair Mall.
 
Only 4 stores in NYC! Wow, this is just another reason for me to get excited about Apple's growth prospects. NYC could easily support 10 stores.
 
New Store coming to SLO

There is a new store opening soon in San Luis Obispo, CA. It used to say opening June, 2007 under under the Apple logo, but they have since removed it.

Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures, used my phone to take them.

I second that! Haywood is an OK mall, but sorry, its not quite up to the standards to be the first place to get an Apple Store in SC. Maybe later on, but the first store in the state HAS TO BE on (or around) King Street in Charleston. Its just the right thing to do. That place just craves an Apple Store & so do the people.

What the hell is taking Apple so long with this?? Do it!

It doesn't have to be in Charleston. Somebody sounds a little jealous to me. Apple is going to build their first store later this year in South Carolina at Haywood Mall in Greenville. The store will most likely be located on the first level near the food court. This is great news for me, seeing how I live in Greenville. Last year, Haywood Mall went through a multi-million dollar renovation that changed the entire appearance of the mall and attracted new retailers such as Pottery Barn and Williams-Sonoma. Haywood Mall's leasing area is over 1.2 million square feet, which makes it the largest mall in South Carolina and one of the many reasons why Apple has chosen to build their first South Carolina store at this location.
 
Greenville before Charleston? You've got to be kidding me.

Haywood Mall, while pretty large, has never been what I would consider an upscale mall.

Ugh. If Greenville gets a store before Charleston, I'll be annoyed. Greenville already has a CompUSA and an Apple reseller. Nowhere else in SC has anyplace to purchase Apple products.

Of course, this could mean that there's already an established user base in Greenville. But no. That's just crazy talk.

Yep, you heard it right. Greenville is going to get one before Columbia and Charleston and the first one in the state. :p If you think Haywood Mall isn't upscale, then you obviously haven't been there lately. You should take a trip and check it out. ;)
 
I'm so excited about the upcoming NYC store in the Meatpacking District, as it's just one avenue away from me (though saddened by the loss of Markt that used to be there, which I used to have brunch at a lot). From the proposed artist rendering of the store I've seen, it looks like it's going to really dominate the area, and really define the District. Wise move for Apple -- as Meatpacking is the fastest up-and-coming neighborhood, and is super hip and trendy now.

Anyone know the target month the store is supposed to be completed?

So, do you have any proof whatsoever to backup that statement?? Cause there is proof all over the place that Apple is interested in Charleston for its first SC store.

Wanna make a bet that Charleston gets one before Greenville?? And im not jealous, I dont live in SC at all. I just know what I see.
 
Well....

Haywood Mall in Greenville is owned by Simon Properties. And Apple and Simon sort of have a retail crush on each other. Malls also tend to be a bit more fluid in their occupancy.

King Street in Charleston is over 90% occupied - possibly over 95%. Plus, Apple is notorious for looking for the absolute most perfectest location for their stores. There's also the BAR (Board of Architectural Review) in Charleston that will force Apple to come up with a unique exterior store design to fit into the existing streetscape. (There's no chance in hell of the stainless steel storefront appearing anywhere in downtown Charleston). These things take time.

With that in mind, Greenville could very easily see the first retail store in SC. But that doesn't mean Apple will be abandoning Charleston. It just may take them awhile to find the right location and get a store design approved.

And if it means waiting another couple of years just so Apple can design a store that looks better than the Greenville store, it will be worth it </rationalization>
 
New UK store

Apple has begun recruiting staff for a new store in Princesshay development in Exeter, England. This store in Devon is a continuation of a UK expansion this year that also includes upcoming stores in Glasgow, Milton Keynes, Brighton, and Solihull. Obviously Apple must be doing well in the UK.

You read it here first. ;)
 
Texas store to open 5/12

Apple has announced that the new store in the Houston suburb of Baybrook will open in the Baybrook Mall on May 12th at 10:00 am. The usual giveaways apply
 
I really wish we could get a flag ship store in Minneapolis. Stupid vendor relations though scares away the idea and we are left with 3 half-arse mall stores. I know that at least one of them has no presentation stage.:mad:



It's sad that when I go to Chicago, one of my stops is to the flag ship store they have there. That way I can at least walk into one..
 
New stores update

Apple has begun recruiting staff for four new stores. One of these is the store in New York's Meatpacking district and another is a confirmation of the previously rumored store in the Lehigh Valley Mall in Whitehall, Pennsylvania. The last two locations Apple has added for staff recruitment are in the booming expansion of Apple's UK retail presence. These are to open in The Oracle in Reading (west of London suburb) and in the Lakeside Shopping Centre in Grays, Essex (east of London suburb.)

In addition to these four locations, ifoAppleStore is reporting Little Rock, Arkansas will get its first store at the The Promenade at Chenal Mall. No confirmation as of yet from Apple on this.
