No, I can't blame you for getting discouraged. I was trying to point out that cities like Salt Lake have a good chance in the next wave of expansion of being included. For your sake, I hope you get a store next door.
Got a tip for us?

I think an Apple store at the Gateway mall would be really successful! I'd rather see it there than the Crossroads mall. If there was an Apple Store in Salt Lake I would be happy, it's still about four-five hours from me but I go to Salt Lake probably six or seven times a year to see family and friends. That's more than enough times for me to get my fix.aranhamo said:

Montgomery Mall is the suggestions e-mail box at the managers desk at the retail Montgomery Mall Maryland Apple Store.
OK, with all the openings this weekend (6 mini-stores and the first store in Delaware) I thought it might be good to post the stores we know from job listings that are to be opened soon. Apple has said it will have 100 retail stores opened by the end of 2004 - that means, with 93 stores opened by this weekend, that at least seven of the following 13 locations will be opened by Dec. 31st.
* indicates stores that are most likely to be opened by year's end. The others, such as St. John's Town Center, have either a projected 2005 opening date or because of their new listing dates are unlikely to make the 2004 time frame. The Regent Street store will almost certainly be among those opened this year.
In addition, Apple has announced, with no date or exact location, that it will open a store in Nagoya, Japan.
There are many, many rumors of other store locations including ones in Toronto, Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Providence, and on and on. None of these have yet been confirmed by Apple. For information on these check out ifoAppleStore's website.

Monster.com has a new listing for a store manger job at a Dallas Apple store. There are no listings yet on Apple's site to confirm whether this is for one of the existing stores or for a new store in the Dallas area. We will wait and see.
update: Apple now has Manager openings for both Dallas area stores - looks like no new Dallas stores in the immediate future.

Apple has officially announced the opening dates for two new stores. The Victoria Gardens store in Rancho Cucamonga, California will open on Thursday, October, 28th at 10:00 am. The Danbury Fair Mall store, in Danbury, Connecticut, will open the following Saturday, October, 30th also at 10:00 am. These will be the 24th store in California and the 2nd in Connecticut. They are also 11th store in the New York metro area and the 9th store in the Los Angeles area.
Danbury Store -- Woooohooooo!!!!
So happy to see the annoucment finally that the Apple store in the Danbury Fair Mall is opening this Saturday.
The mall stores open at 9am, and the Apple store is opening at 10am.
I'm thinking of getting there around 7:30am, to be in line for the first 1000 free tshirt give away.
I'm very excited about this because in this area we haven't had anything for an Apple store. I used to drive to southern New Hampshire for a cool Apple Reseller.
I'm a bit afraid of being bombarded by guys/girls who worship Steve Jobs as God. But it should be worth it.

The Church of Jobs? Nah! Now if it was the Church of Woz that might make some sense!
If they get to be too much of a problem just dazzle them with stories of free black U2 iPods and they will too busy wiping the drool from their mouths to bother you anymore. Enjoy the store and if can get any pictures post some here.
criana,
Do you not know there is a store at the West Farms Mall in West Hartford/Farmington, CT? Why drive all the way to Southern New Hampshire?

Apple has finally made it official and announced Nov. 20th as the opening date for the Regent Street store. Be there for the 10:00 am opening of the first European store.
Apple has announced the opening dates of three new stores. The Alderwood Mall store (in Lynnwood, Washington) will open next Thursday, November 4th at 10:00 am. The Jordan Creek Mall (in West Des Moines, Iowa) and the Carousel Center (in Syracuse, New York) stores will both open on Saturday, November 6th at 10:00 am.
The Jordan Creek store is the first store in the state of Iowa. The Alderwood Mall store is the fourth store in Washington state and in the Seattle metro area. The Carousel Center store, the only mini-store of the three, will be the eighth store in New York state.

New stores in Toronto?
Apple Insider is reporting that Apple is negotiating for space in Toronto with an opening in mid 2005 with 3 additional stores planned in Canada.

Nice, finally! I wonder where the additional stores will be... Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary would be cool... I wouldn't complain if they opened one here in Regina either!

Yeah I saw this too. They name Yorkdale Mall (a 5 minute drive from my place
) as the site. Yorkdale is undergoing renovations and it's likely the store will be going in there, but the store map of the "to be renovated" area didn't list the apple store. Maybe I'll take my girlfriend to a movie or something this weekend and see if there are any map updates.
Here's a semi-random question, and kinda on topic.
What's the deal with the Goodie Bags? Aren't they just random bags of merchandise that you buy for whatever price?
So, if I'm right, when are these available and how much do they typically cost? They don't offer them at every Store opening, right?
Thanks!
...oh, and GO CANADA!

Danbury Store Grand Opening
Well I went to the Grand Opening of the Danbury Store.
Everyone was very cool. We got there at 8:30 and there were about 30 people lined up, we got in line. By 10:00 there were easily the 1000 people.
They let people in in shifts, as we went in all the Apple store employees were lined up and gave everyone a high 5 as they came in, kinda like a team roster. LOL.
Also I've lived in this area all my life and never saw people at this mall clapping and screaming for a store opening. But people were today.
Also, people kept coming up asking if we were all waiting to see a celebrity. We got our t-shirts.
-------
When I referred to the store in New Hamsphire, this was before Apple had their corporate stores. Back in like 1995.
Yes I'm aware of the West Farms store, and that has been my store for some time, because it's either that or White Plains (which is a very small store). West Farms isn't bad, but right now I have to drive through Waterbury with all it's construction, so I'm looking at a good 45-60 minutes to get there and then that again to go back.
The new store in Danbury is only 2 minutes from my work and 20 minutes from home.
Below are some pics of the Danbury Store Grand Opening.

This was around 8:30am

This was about to go in, if you look to the right that's the line behind us and it went all the way back to the macy's.

Criana, thanks for the pics! It looks as if fun was had by one and all. Hmmm.... two minutes from the store - not bad, not bad. Except maybe for your boss.
(not much of a) Yorkdale update....
Well I took my girlfriend to see "Ray" on Saturday, (I would definately recommend the film if you're interested in his music) and I went by the map they had of the renovation. It was pretty disappointing... there was even less information shown! I remember a list of places and approximate dates that were scheduled to open up the last time I saw the board, now they just have the layout with only two store spaces saying they'll be "opening in Spring 2005".
...mind you they are rather big stores... I wonder if Apple is going into one of them. I'm hoping that they do!!

Keep us posted. Although Toronto is too far away for me to go regardless if they open an Apple Store or not, it's still nice to know from a Canadian perspective!
And thanks for the movie review on "Ray".
ThinkSecret is reporting the following:
These are the same folks who told us that there would be a Spanish Fort store open by now - so take their predictions with a grain of salt. However, this jump of near 60% in openings maybe possible with the new mini-stores as part of the plan. The two Canadian locations are certainly possible.

A Second NYC Store
I am not sure if this has already been mentioned on the forum, but Apple will be opening a second store in Manhattan...somewhere in the 50s (streets). So, that means there will be both a SoHo store and midtown store. I believe it will open in 2005. Sorry for those of you who live hours from the nearest Apple store...New Yorkers will soon have multiple stores to choose from.
