According to the french Mac-centric site MacGeneration.com, Pascal Cagni, Apple Europe’s VP has sent a letter to European Apple resellers so as to inform them of the forthcoming changes in their contract with Apple.
The Apple reseller contract that will be applied by this summer in Europe will bring some dramatic changes. The most important among these changes is the fact that Apple resellers, which are currently running under the brand “Apple Center”, will now be qualified as “Premium Reseller” instead. By the way, resellers won’t be allowed to use the brands “Apple” and “Mac” in their name.
Another major change is the obligation of resellers to train their employees under Apple’s Certificates program. This certificates program implies costs for the reseller.
Pascal Cagni also expressed in his letter, the willing of Apple that its resellers network differentiates in terms of design from Apple stores and that Apple will be encouraging common marketing campaigns between Apple and its resellers network.
The report also confirms Apple’s plans to open stores in France, starting this year with a first store in Paris - Opera, another in Lyon and another in Lille. The very expected Paris, Champs-Elysés store will open in 2007....

Huntsville Real Store?
In the aftermath of spotting an Apple logo along University Blvd. in Huntsville (Ala.), tipster Shane spotted another mention of Appleon a site plan for the Bridge Street Town Center mall now under construction on the citys southwest side. The project has been delayed several times, but will eventually include a 10-acre lake, bridges, water taxis, a multi-screen cinema and Westin Hotel. Apple is listed as In discussion/negotiating for a 4,000 square-foot space near the center of the mall.
Another Philly Region Store
Hard no the heels of the May 13th grand opening of the Suburban Square (Penn.) store in the north suburbs of Philadelphia, Apple will open another store in the region, at the Simon-owned South Hills Village mall in Bethel Park, about 8 miles southwest of the city. The store will be on the lower level near Sears, and might make a year-end opening.

Alphabet district - A hearing ends without a vote on plans for a store in the historic area
Tuesday, June 13, 2006
FRED LEESON
Plans for a sleek-looking Apple Computer store in a Northwest Portland historic district received an icy reception on Monday from the city's Historic Landmarks Commission, whose chairman criticized it as "franchise architecture."
A two-hour hearing over the proposed two-story glass and limestone box at 423 N.W. 23rd Ave. ended without a formal vote when the building's architect asked to come back at a July 10 meeting.
It wasn't immediately clear whether Jeff Stuhr, a Portland architect, plans to present revised plans or whether Apple will drop the project. The company does not comment on its retail store plans....
Apple gets green light on Boston store plan
Full OK contingent on a revised design
By Jenn Abelson, Globe Staff | June 15, 2006
Apple Computer Inc. is moving in the right direction with a revised building design for its first Boston store, the Back Bay Architectural Commission told the company at a hearing last night.
Giving Apple a conditional blessing, the group approved the demolition of the existing building at 815 Boylston St. as long as the computer maker presents an appropriate building design. But the commission, while complimenting the design changes, denied for now last night's proposal, an expected move for a project of this scope, according to commission chairman Anthony Casendino.
Apple is seeking to demolish the building across from the Prudential Center, which Copy Cop currently occupies, and construct a three-story building with a glass façade. The changes presented at last night's meeting include creating a recessed entrance and installing stainless steel columns inside the store that divide the glass façade in sections -- alterations that are intended to make the modern design fit better with the older architecture in the neighborhood.
``We like the direction it's going in. You're on a great track, keep going," said John Christiansen , a commission member. ``It's technologically inspired and historically inspired."

Is Santa Barbara Hot?
Why would an authorized Apple reseller commit to spending $10,000 a month for five years on a space in downtown Santa Barbara (S. Calif.)? That question begs an answer with the discovery that the citys Historic Landmarks Commission has received an application (pdf) from local architect Doug Keep to modify the entryway of 716 State Street for a Proposed Mac Retail Store. The 2,062 square-foot space in the midst of downtown is managed by SIMA Management Corp., who asks for a minimum five-year lease at almost $5 per s.f. The space is only 22 feet wide, but has old-world charm and a huge skylight that brightens up the interior. The façade is considered historic and unchangeable, but Apple has handled similar situations successfully at other stores (Palo Alto and Pasadena).
