Re: Re: 2 Apple Stores 15 minutes apart.
TCS is the absolute worst computer store I have ever been in. Let's hope for their demise now that Apple has two stores in the Seattle area.

I wish we'd get one here in Maine! I spoke with an Apple rep recently at a trade show and he said that they (the New England office, I guess) have been telling Apple for a while that they should look at Maine but, so far, no go. Since the state got so much media attention for our iBook program (heck, Steve himself came up for a media event with the Governor), you'd think that they'd get a store up here so that the parents of all of those 7th and 8th graders could get compatible computers for the home.
Apple's Map
Has anyone noticed that the map of store locations at Apple's web site doesn't match the number of stores listed? There are too many "dots" in the SF Bay Area (the new SF store?), the Chicago Area (the new downtown Chicago store?), and in Florida (an unannounced store?). It would seem central Florida just might be the next store opening.

Apple Stores....
Perhaps this has already been mentioned on another thread, but I've found that it's easy for me to see a store is going to be put in some areas by cruising the Apple job opportunities on their website......

Of Course!
Hana, you are absolutely right! Should have thought of that one a long time ago! According to Apple's job listings they are definitely opening new stores in Seattle - University Village (had already heard of that one) and in Richmond, Virginia (news to me.) In these two locations Apple is looking for Apple Store Managers, so it is pretty clear even to an old dunce like me. They are also advertising openings for Full Time Mac Specialists and Inventory Specialist in Burlingame, CA; Boca Raton, FL; Santa Monica, CA; and Walnut Creek, CA. Some of these may be for resellers like CompUSA. Thanks for the tip.

i think it's bad that apple displaces other local retailers when it moves to another area. instead of training new, unqualified employees for the apple stores, apple should recruit from the existing resellers, and just give them any additional training they need. that way, fewer people lose their jobs, and the only person who complains will be the store owner. also, the apple store employees are known to refer customers to the resellers for difficult questions, because many resellers have more experience and are more knowledgable.

Wow, i find this soooo funny because apple probably has almost as much market share as sony in japan
I really think they need to open a store up north, canada or alaska
it would be my second home. suprisingly, there are quite a few mac users up here, and i think an apple store would do pretty good..our schools also are fairly techologicly advanced, and they use macs so education is a major market up here also.
Now this is an ancient thread! If you want to talk about Apple retail store growth there is a much, much, newer thread.

Apple Store Opening in Delaware
The other day I was at Christana Mall in New Castle, Delaware and I noticed a coming soon sign for another apple store. To me in theory I think it is a good location since there are so many college's located in and around the area. I was wondering if anyone here has heard anything about it recently? It's a good thing though maybe i can get a job there and get some great discounts!

I don't know if anybody else has noticed, but this isn't exactly May, 2004. We're getting a little long in the tooth for this to be the celebratory month, you know?

Mike, look again. This thread was started May 2003 not 2004. Someone resurrected the very old thread instead of using a much newer one.
Ya this forums suxs
I have to say you all sound like a bunch of dumb ass Microsoft geeks over there. "That is old news" I bet half of you who are all soo stuck up your ass live in the basement of your moms house. I just reported my finding while you just go and tear it up to shreads saying that it's old news and the same with Themacman's news too. By the way (Sayhey and MiketheC) that thread only said 14 new locations and no listings to where they will be at ass hole. This is why I hate forums cuz of people like you. dicks
