Nice. They seem to building a number of these underground stores. I have noticed they have one going up (or is that down) in Walnut Creek, California
Same - I'm thrilled to have an Apple Store only a few blocks away, but it's in a strip shopping center
The only thing "special" about it is wall-to-wall glass on the front (which does look nice) and the fact it's always packed to the gills
Apple better keep innovating, otherwise these fancy stores will end up selling beauty products or purses in the future.
That's right, I remember the talk of an apple store in the Galleria. That area near the Duomo is always packed with people.
Agreed re Liberty Piazza. Do you live in Milan?
Luckily they included more pictures of products for sale, so people stop thinking its a store full of bare tables
Indeed @AngelaAhrendts did a fantastic job on this project. She’s worth her payroll and bonuses. To be honest she could be a threat to some oversight that Ive may have. Imagine what Apple Park could look like with BOTH of them harmoniously collaborating :O
Same here!!
What on earth are you trying to say? Who says Apple doesn’t have talented people? Drawing on a PC huh?? Hype up retail stores? Name me one business that has stores on THIS level?!
Note how the modern minimalist design blends perfectly with the Renaissance.
[doublepost=1532717390][/doublepost]And by the way, Melbourne, take your crappy square. Let Pizza Hut put up an actual Pizza Hut store.
Your square looks like a bad drawing by the Apple Maps of 5 years ago.

Who cares if they do or do not... That is the point!

You must not know how to draw if you think "physical retail strategy" is a substitute. Good God, does not compute indeed.

There fixed it for you.
Good God you seem VERY iritable for being on a forum. You may not care ... I do, and I'm just hypothesizing thoughts. Your opinion is yours and your right, yet who are you to speak for everyone? In any event have a wonderful day.
I read 3 pages of people gushing over "retail space" and didn't think of arriving at the conclusion they "speaking for everyone" and needed a direct rebuttal from me. I went to the end of the line and put my opinion in. No different from everyone else before.
That is what forums are for - Opinions. Sometimes they Pro other times Cons. They both valid in the same way.
You also! Cheers.
Reminds me of the comment in Dan Brown’s book about the glass pyramid in front of the Louvre.
Good looking building.

Finally a compliment to Android.

Did anyone notice that the design looks like what could be a modular Mac Pro?
At this point, it's like hallucinations in the desert. Everything looks like the mythical modular Mac Pro.
Guess it's going to be water cooled?
This new flagship location features a huge fountain with water cascading over glass walls that customers walk through to enter the store.

Absolutely gorgeous, Apple Store Milan - but what else would the world expect from them?
....and this is what we get here in Chicago....
(a "MacBook Air roof" - are you kidding?)
...this is America...
230 people x 40 hours per week is 9,200 worked hours per week. If the store is open 77 hours per week that makes (9,200 / 77) 120 manning the store at any given time.
Even if you make adjustments for sick leave, vacation leave, etc. that still seems like a lot.
You say that like we should just agree with your problems with the store. Why would I be surprised that that's in America?Absolutely gorgeous, Apple Store Milan - but what else would the world expect from them?

I don't know where on Earth you got that from.
I'm just saying the Beauty Milan is and has as opposed to what they come up with in the USA...
I do.
The area next to the Duomo is packed, if you go there before Christmas or during sales in the week-end it is almost too crowded.
Liberty square will be crowded too, I'm sure about that. It wasn't a very popular square because it is quite hidden from the main avenue, but thank to the AS and to the fountain a lot of people will go there.

There is of course an elevator, they placed it at the opposite side of the square so most of the pics don't show it since everyone shot at the fountain.
I guess it was too inclined to build a ramp for wheelchairs and strollers.
