The Company Store

[Mr. MacBook]

Any of you guys ever been to the San Jose company apple store in California?

Visiting San Franciso which, according to my dad, is like 45 mins away from the store.

I just wanna know what its like... it'd be nice to go there.

[skubish]

Are you talking about the store at Apple Headquarters?
That is in Cupertino not San Jose.

I didn't want you to get confused. There is another store in San Jose.

well most outsiders know that cupertino is like almost a suburb of san jose. thats what i thought.

i went there when i went on vacation in SF too and its not that bad. its not that long of a drive down there. i went there twice in 5 days!

For you folks that have been to their factory store...how is it, compared to the Apple Stores we are used to know? Do they have something in particular over there?
I also learn that there's a 15% discount for employers...

It's completely different from a regular Apple Store. It's focused on gift items...t-shirts, mugs, pens, etc. All kinds of Apple-branded stuff.

Haha, maybe ill get something to bring back to NJ.

What kind of stuff? How do they look?

I'd love to have a nice mug to show off to my windowloving brother

The stuff is pretty typical logo gear. Pens, coffee mugs, etc.

It's mostly the kind of stuff you'd find at

But cheaper and with no shipping charges.
