What is your favorite Apple Store?

[applefan289]

Being the lazy bastard that I am, my favorite store is the one closest to me.

It's not the newest or biggest, but my experience there has been great. The folks at the genius bar have always been very helpful and pleasant, as has been the manager, who went out of his way to help me.

So it may not be the most impressive architecturally, but the people make it my favorite store.

...and where would this store be?

A shoe box has more 'warmth', and it smells better too.

South Shore Mall, Braintree, Mass.

I said I liked the place, I never said I inhaled while I was there.

Check-out in 3 minutes???

Or do you free-dive?

You should take the extra time to travel to the one on Boylston Street in Boston, Massachusetts. From what I've seen, it looks amazing.

I told you they were efficient!!

Next time I'm in town, I'll check it out. But for doing business, I'll stick to my local store.

Supporting the local economy is always the right thing to do.

Haha, it would have been funny if someone posted:

Covent Gardens, London, United Kingdom.
I'm a sucker for brick and light.

Lincoln Park, Chicago, United States.
I also like this one very much, mainly due to location.

Not going to post a picture, but I should also mention the Apple Store on Fifth Avenue, New York, United States. (mainly because it is something that I've never seen before).

I don't really like the ones that are enclosed in malls. They just don't have the freedom and beauty that the ones I posted above have. I even like the one that the OP posted, mainly due to it being outdoor with vibrant colors.

Agreed. The ones in malls do not look nearly as "magnificent" as the free-standing ones. I live near this one, it's probably one of the better-looking ones as far as indoor malls go.

Apple Store - Aventura, Florida

When my girl and I go to the Glendale Galleria (mall), I always say, "You go to that Mac Store and I'll go to this Mac Store."

That's because there's a Mac Cosmetics store facing the Apple store about 30 feet away.
Similar to this:

Hey, that's my local Apple Store! It's always crowded to the max though, so I'm not going there anymore. Not to mention, parking sucks at Aventura (literally takes 45 minutes). You do see nice cars in front of Bloomingdales though. Apparently, Galleria is much less crowded and parking isn't as hard, so I might just go there instead. But recently, I've been just shipping my laptop for repair than trying to go to any of these stores. It's much more convenient.

Yeah, what city are you in? I'm in Pembroke Pines.

The Shops at Pembroke Gardens would be perfect for an Apple store.

And yeah, Aventura is always crowded, and that's even after they remodeled it. To me, Aventura has a better atmosphere than Galleria, but Galleria is right next to the beach. I've also been to the Town Center at Boca Apple store, but it's nothing to write home about. I've also been to the Apple store in The Falls, that one is pretty nice. Been to the one in Lincoln Road, that one is really nice as well. That's pretty much it though. I've been to all the ones within reach of my house (they're all within 45 minutes).

I really want to finally see one of their free-standing or flagship locations.
