Probably quite a few given how busy Regent Street is; although none of those mentioned is actually in London.
I've been through the recruitment process for the Glasgow store, sadly got rejected at the very last stage... ("As a company, we are not able to provide specific feedback other than we hired those candidates that we felt were most qualified and appropriate for the particular positions we were recruiting for")
They are pushing the Glasgow store as their flagship store in Scotland, on the same level as the Regent Street store in London, with an opening date of late August '07. In fact, they should be indoctrinating the new recruits as we speak!

seriously?
So you're suggesting that either people in Ireland can't afford to pay for the computers that they are employed to assemble, or that even if they did there is no electricity supply for most of them? Thats what your comment suggests. Think before you make meaningless statements please. (I'm not Irish by the way)

Finally a store in Montreal. Macs are VERY popular here, lots and lots of students, and I'd say about half the laptops I see at McGill are macs. Right down town too, much better than whatever they decided to open up out in Laval.
Hey Calgary dude, why doesn't Montreal make any sense to you?
And i wouldn't be too worried about the Office de la langue Française cracking down on Apple stores, they even let Second Cup fly, and that's just a little Canadian café chain, not a chique computer company with such internationally recognizable branding as Apple. That's just one example... Canadian Tire, Home Depot, Chapters all pop up in a second as other companies that have very english signs up outside their stores. "Apple" will fly no problem.

Everybody here know that "Wal-Mart" is French Candadian is "Wal-Marde"
I would welcome an Apple Store on St-Cath's street. I was surprised when they located the first on in Laval.
Was in Lakeside yesterday, the new store is next to the Carphone Warehouse. Was all boarded up so couldn't see how well it was progressing.
I agree... ANY SORT OF APPLE STORE IN OTTAWA...
and making the US to CAD conversion more fair online would be nice too....
why do americans get macbooks 200$ cheaper when our dollar is worth like 95 cents US??
Although montreal isn't too far away for a day trip...only two hours... so that will be nice
Churchill
It's 'Churchill Square', not 'Church Hill'
You may remember him from such wars as the Boer War, The Great War and the Second World War.
Interestingly (or not) I used to live round the corner from his old school in Brighton, and now live in his old constituency (Dundee).
As for the question about why London needs another Apple store... Have you seen the size of London??
You might think it's a long way to the chemist, but it's nothing compared with the distance from one end of that place to the other.
(Apologies to Douglas Adams)

Bring one to Vancouver or Calgary, that would be excellent...
I can just picture it. An iPod store on the waterfront by Vancouvers False Creek. It would be a "skate through" where you can skate in, pick an iPod, swipe the credit card then out the exit and never have to remove your inline roller skates.
I suspect most Americans don't even know where Ireland is, hence the comments about third world countries.
Wheres the Irish store then Apple? You have your factory here so why not a store?
Y'know, I was wondering the same thing. I can't imagine Northern Ireland (where I'm from) would be on Apple's radar, but surely Dublin is worth of a store!?
i love going to different apple stores in different cities/countries
they used to have one in east brisbane, australia, but it disappeared. hope they put one in west brisbane (near me) so i dont have to go all the way to the city just to play with new toys

Well I think Belfast should get one aswell. There big enough citys. And a growing Apple clientel. They need to start opening some stores
I'm surprised Apple hasn't opened up an Apple Store in Vancouver yet. It makes sense to have a store in Vancouver, considering that there are a lot of Mac users here, many in the film industry.
It really is a pain having to take your broken Macs to resellers for repair.

Calgary left out again eh?
We almost had one last year... they were going to move into Chinook Centre, even had the job postings... but it fell through. I think they might be waiting for the 800 million dollar expansion that is supposed to start soon... customized space and all...
Western Canada (Alberta) makes sense. We have two busy resellers here in Calgary, and don't forget we have all that oil and executive money (Alberta has more millionaires per capita than any other province, no wonder housing prices are so high)
I constantly get asked about apple products when people see my iBook, Apple needs to step up their schedule and get a Calgary store soon...

I think you might piss a few Irish off with that. And a few other people anyway.
Isn't it a load of the Americans that claim to be 'Irish' anyway? Boston anyone? They are no more Irish than I.
That's great for Montreal and that's a great location but Ottawa needs to be next! I used to go to Compusmart for all my Apple gear and now that they're closed, I've been trying to buy a wired apple keyboard from Best Buy for 3 weeks and it's the most toothgrinding experience ever
yeah, Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver are the first three logical choices to me. Calgary and Ottawa next maybe. Wouldn't have surprised me if Vancouver got one before Montreal.
Good timing for me, I've lived in Montreal all of my 23 years, struggling to find Apple service providers for years, and now moving to the UK in a month. Though apparently i won't have any problems finding an Apple store in London?

It is about time there was a decent computer store in the area. Reading was/is supposed to be the 'capital' of the UKs silicon valley being home to Microsoft, Oracle, (DEC/Compaq) HP, and numerous other hardware and software suppliers/developers but can only muster Evesham (own brand Win machines) and John Lewis (who do do Apple but not the range). Oh and PC World but lets move on... So I will be pleased to spend 20 mins on a bus rather than 1.5 hours + on train / tube.
