About 10-15 years ago, the majority of computers in Northern Irish schools were Macs. That's nowhere near the case now, but Apple obviously think that NI is fertile ground for a store.
I can understand why they located it in NI rather than Dublin, as the setup costs for "another UK store" are less than one in Dublin would be, but I'm surprised that it isn't nearer the border to benefit from the 'Mexicans'😀. I suppose there isn't a suitable place for it - Apple seems to be very careful about where it places a store. The ones I've been too - Bullring in Birmingham and the Arndale and Trafford Centres in Manchester are all in ultra-modern settings.
Yes - cannot wait till it opens! Ive already applied for a job there! Fingers crossed!
Well I got dragged to a shopping centre (lakeside) near my folks place to waste a few hours last weekend and thought it was going to be hell dragging around shoe shops all afternoon...but what was the first thing I saw on entering the door - a lovely shiny Apple Store!!!!! could not believe my eyes.🙂 so now I know pass by one every couple of weeks or so.
Nope. I went around victoria square looking for any coming soon signs but I say nothing ;_;

Spokane? You may be right about that. There are rumors Little Rock, AR is getting one. If they do, you should too.
