15 minute train journey and I am at Apple's Regent Street flapship store, or 35 minute drive and I am at the Lakeside Apple store or a quick 4 minute trip over the Dartford bridge and I am at the Bluewater Apple store. Or I can take a 40 minute drive and be at the Brent cross store. So I am ok..
 
come on guys/gals. we have infinitely more Apple Stores here in the UK than only a few years ago. Where have all the old timers gone? I for one came to see the looonnnng queue when the London store opened - but did not bother to join in.

Have also spent my hard earned cash in Las Vegas, New York, Brent Cross, Toronto and San Fran.

just how many apple stores are there in the UK now? they are even appearing in provincial town now like (insert town name to cause offense).

Small customer base. Probably.

In Northern Ireland there is probably no financial sense in building one, because we are such a small country, if they put one here it would probably be in Dublin.
 
A couple of people have told me that Apple Store is coming to Victoria Square Shopping Center (a massive new shopping center in Belfast City Center)... so we'll have to wait and see what happens..... it'd be amazin :apple:

That would be awesome.
 
5 min. ride with the bycicle and i'm at an apple store, 5 min. ride in the other direction (also with bycicle) is a other Apple store. They aren't from apple but they are official retailers.
 
There is on no where near me and I have never set foot in one because of this. However in less than two weeks time I will be in Orlando and visit an apple store there just for the heck of it!
 
Yes, and I refuse to do business with them because the Apple retail policies are often nonsensical and sometimes offensive. Fortunately, I have a third-party Apple-certified retailer & service center even closer to home than the Apple store.
 
I live in the UK and have 3 within close proximity from me, the closest being 30minute drive away (which i previously worked at) and the others being about 45minutes away.

I know for a fact that there are two :apple: Stores North of where I live. They are about 30-40 minutes apart from me.

There is also one south of me, but it takes an hour to get there.

Arizona is so cool ^_^
 
7!

I have the Oakbrook store 5 minutes away, the Woodfield store 15 minutes away, the Northbrook store 35 minutes away, the Skokie store 40 minutes away, the Deer Park store 45 minutes away, the Orland Park store 45 minutes away, and I'm in downtown Chicago daily for classes.

At any time I am no more than an hour away from an Apple store. It's great!

p.s. no triangulating my home base
 
i have one, 7 hours away!!!
HURRAY!!!
[/SARCASM]
i think a city of 200,000+ should have one, am i wrong???
 
I voted "yes" but the closest one I know about is 120 miles away in St Louis. I guess it all depends on how you define "near." :D

When you live out in the sticks your definition of "near" is a bit more distant than that of the city dwellers. I'm just happy that I'm not even more rural than I am. There are some places in central Kansas, Texas and Montana that would consider 120 miles "very close." :)
