I think everyone who replied missed your sarcasm.

I think you didnt understand. I was saying just their stores dont do well, not the company itself

Toronto is the fourth largest city in North America, ahead of Chicago, and until last week had one reasonable Apple store and two completely insufficient ones, so it's pretty arrogant to say it's less newsworthy than a fart, especially since we also get articles whenever a store is upgraded in other major cities around the world.

Relax and take a step back. I’m not saying the other “grand opening articles” were newsworthy and that this one isn’t. Come on...

A retail store opening *never* makes national/global news unless it’s the very first one, or the plug has been pulled on the retail operation altogether.

My point had nothing to do with your city—it could’ve been any city—my point concerned how surprising it is to see news coverage (including a floor plan) related to a (“kind random in the scheme of things”) retail store in the first place—and how this may be a sign of how powerful Apple’s retail strategy really is.

Are you from Toronto? Because I’m not used to this kind of [name deleted]-style insecurity coming from an honest, hardworking, friendly, God-fearing northern neighbor. (You have a higher standards to live up to than us animals who live to your south.) XD

Is there a list of all the Apple stores that have been "revamped" with the latest design? There are a few within driving distance and I'd be interested in checking out the new design the next time I'm in the area.

About time. It was one of the smallest Applestore I’ve ever seen.

Indeed. This is well needed as this store gets almost as packed as the Eaton Centre does currently. With all those condos and new developments still going up just 2 lights east by the Rogers offices.

This mall, since the death of The Bay really needs new life-blood of business from a major player. Still some construction going on where the South side lower level by garage/TTC entrance. That will still affect foot traffic going to this new store opening because even if you drive, unless you park on the east or north side upper level you'll be having issues getting into the mall.
