I Want One Closer!
What about the folks in Utah?... I hate dealing with the "CompUSA" so-called Apple Agents (That don't know anything about the computers other than..."don't ya want a PC instead...)
Please bring us an Apple Store to SLC/Utah for the Holidays!
(Okay maybe thats pushing it... but we can still hope!)

Ha ha ha... very poor timing there big guy..Aldaris said:
It's quite obvious you haven't read the last 10-20 posts in this thread. Nothing in stone yet, of course, but there is a projected opening date of June 1st, in the Gateway Mall.
FOUR NEW STORES!!!
In a huge and swift move, Apple has posted the usual job openings (check at the bottom of Apple's Retail Stores web page via the link for "local Apple Stores") for FOUR new stores!!! They include some of the most watched for locations in the US. They are stores in San Antonio (La Cantera,) Nashville (Green Hills,) confirmation of a store in Salt Lake City ( The Gateway,) and a new Houston (The Woodlands Mall) store. The first three stores are among the largest metro areas without Apple stores up to this point. The Houston location comes in the largest US metro Area with only one store. All look to have new stores in the May to June timeframe.
EDIT: OK - I'm posting too fast! There are now FIVE new stores! The one missing is a new store in Woodland - Grand Rapids, Michigan

After Apple's new listings for the San Antonio, Nashville, Grand Rapids, and Salt Lake City stores, I thought I'd update the list of metro areas without an Apple store or one planned. Here is the new top twenty.
- Norfolk/Virginia Beach, Virginia
- New Orleans, Louisiana
- Greensboro/Winston-Salem, North Carolina
- Providence, Rhode Island
- Rochester, New York
- Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
- Louisville, Kentucky
- Greenville/Spartanburg, South Carolina
- Dayton, Ohio
- Fresno, California
- Birmingham, Alabama
- Tulsa, Oklahoma
- Omaha, Nebraska
- Albuquerque, New Mexico
- Knoxville, Tennessee
- El Paso, Texas
- Bakersfield, California
- Allentown/Bethlehem, Pennsylvania
- Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
- Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania

This is great news. It's nice to see Texas finally getting some love from Apple.
Having only 4 stores total in the second largest state in the country was spreading things a bit thin. Now with San Antonio and The Woodlands getting theirs, plus Southlake in early 2006 as well, that'll be very nice. Well, at least Birmingham's almost in the top 10. I'm still hoping for a Summit store in the new addition that's under construction.
It'd be interesting to see the list re-sorted in order of distance to the nearest existing Apple store. At present, the closest one is about 150 miles from here, in Atlanta.

I'm glad the Salt Lake City store has finally been officially acknowledged.
I've already got plans with a friend of mine to be in line when that baby opens.

I always thought it was weird that Birmingham never got the love, after being one of the very first sites advertised on Monster, before the stores were officially announced. I know they took applications, because they took mine.
The Summit's a great development and Apple would fit in really well there. And from the looks of things, having one there makes it that much more likely to see them in Montgomery, Jackson MS and (still crossing my fingers) Mobile/Baldwin.
get a clue apple
Almost 4 years of retail stores and placement of stores in lower population cities than New Orleans and we still have no retail store. New Orleans APPLE!!! Maybe they've forgotten that we are a top 10 city.

Just a note on two small developments. First the Toronto store is now has listings on the "local Apple Store" page. This usually signifies the 3-6 month time frame for opening a retail store. The exceptions are the high profile stores that take longer from announcement. This is not exactly a shock as everyone is expecting a mid-2005 opening for the Yorkdale store, but it is a confirmation that all is on schedule. Second, the South Shore Plaza store is no longer listing a position for an Apple Store manager. This is usually the last step before an announcement of the opening - the stores don't often open without a manager. I'm still betting on late January.

Hey, wdlove, no problem. Now the question is which store will be the 100th US store - Braintree or Century City? Will Apple do anything special to mark the milestone? In any event I'll keep looking for the announcement.
