What makes you think that? Little Rock's gangs or is it because Arkansas has rednecks? Sure it might happen just like an Apple Store anywhere can be robbed, but crime in LR is not as bad as people think.
Way to keep it classy.
There ARE rednecks in every state in the country. And in most cities. Sometimes they are called different, more disparaging names. Some of them have "reality" television show devoted to them. To those who assume Arkansans are illiterate, rednecked criminals I will presume that those people have not witnessed anything about "the south" beyond the film "The Children Must Learn."

- Let's not get carried away. Apple's headquarters are located in Cupertino, California.
Microsoft, three more places you have to build stores to shadow Apple. How's that comin' along, by the way?
The Little Rock store was originally announced in 2007
The Little Rock Apple store was originally announced back in 2007, and it was to be the first in the mid-south (Louisiana, Mississippi, and Arkansas). For whatever reason, namely the delay in constructing the retail center it was to occupy coinciding with the Great Recession, it was delayed by nearly four years.
I'm almost embarrassed that it took this long for Little Rock's store to open, since it's a relatively sizable/progressive southern city, but I'm glad it's now open none-the-less.

I am so spoiled living in Dallas, we have 2, one only a few miles from me. I have been there a few times with ipad and airport issues, taken a aperture class, ect.
People with out apple stores should be a charity.

Maybe, but probably not during business hours. You see Arkansas is a CCW state, so while it may be full of rednecks, they will be well-armed rednecks.
Note for the record, I am a redneck and a well-armed one at that.
Id rather drive past Northlake and go to Southpark, I dont have to bring my pistol with me there. the mall was nice back in the day too bad they let it thug out
(NC is also a CCW state)

Pretty soon? Doubtful...
McDonald's have 71 stores in Norway. How many do you think Apple have? Zero, none, 0
A long way to go.

Surprising, since Norway's economy has always been pretty good. Isn't Oslo and Stavanger among the top 10 most expensive cities in the world?
Back in the U.S., not sure why Empire Mall in Sioux Falls, SD cannot get at least one of those micro-Apple Stores. At the very least, Apple should have one of those "stores within a store" at Wall Drug.

No I was deadly serious when I said Apple is going to buy the Louvre and use it as an Apple store, in my universion this is a reality! 
THANK G@D!! I've come to despise the Southpark store in Charlotte, as much as my cable company!
The store's biggest problem hasn't been the service ( though it is suspect at times ), but the store just could not handle the traffic it got. On weekdays in afternoons, the store would be slammed. Trying to buy something simple like an Apple remote when they first came out, took me 20+ minutes. I ordered it online to pick it up, but getting waited on by a salesperson is one of the great tests of patience. Waiting times haven't gotten better since.
Perhaps this will alleviate some of the traffic, and I never have to suffer stepping into that pointless mall again.

I think you may be onto something.
Is it a coincidence that the Carrousel du Louvre Apple Store is so close to the final scene in The Da Vinci Code? I think not! OMG, Steve Jobs is part of the Illunminati!!!

I don't know about Europe, but it's getting that way in the US.
@ JayMysterio - I couldn't agree more about Southpark's ridiculous crowds. Northlake should help somewhat but I think it will draw quite a few new people. I'm just north of town and know plenty of people who could afford Southpark but have never been.
@ Nozebleed - Is Northlake really "thugged out"? I guess I go there at good times because it isn't anything I've noticed. However, I avoid all retail on weekend nights when crowds are at their worst.

The Little Rock store looks huge in dimension, but it does not look anywhere near completed. Construction workers are there late at night, but it doesn't looks finished at all yet. Like I said, it looks huge, though, and it has a beautiful corner location in the new, scenic outdoor mall nestled in nature.
