Great! When is one coming to Salt Lake City?
MW: century, as in “Not in this…”
effwerd, I predict there will be an Apple store in Salt Lake City at the beginning of this century. So that’s good. But Salt Lake City probably won’t enter this century for another 50 years. So that’s bad.
Stop trying to ban science education, and maybe people won’t think of SLC as a backwater bible-thumping hillbilly town.
I wish the would get one in NE Iowa so my Mom could use it. Probably waaaaay down on the list tho.
Soooo, I guess I can hope for one in Yokohama or at least Shibuya. Ginza is alright but it is a bit of a hike. Yokohama and Shibuya certainly have the population, market, and consumer traffic to support their own Apple stores so I think there is a pretty good chance. I heard a rumor from a Japanese friend that Apple was looking at putting one in Shibuya. Hope it’s true.
yeee-haw! now i can buy me one of them their apples at the nashville store! I’ll go to a store espically for the apples instead of the local market for all them fruits. They better taste gooder than the market though!
I’ll be at the Bridgeport opening, wonder how early I’ll have to get there to get a t-shirt?
Why are both of the Oregon stores so close together?
Both in Tigard. About 5 miles from each other….
Is Apple planning to bail out of the Washington Square store?
That Century City location is long overdue…
IMHO, they should open a mini-store on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills…
That would be ace…

The new one’s in Tualatin. Where’d you want it, Gresham? Apple goes for upscale shopping centers, where the money is, and the Tigard store is close to Beaverton and Hillsdale.
Green Hills is nice, but I would have thought they’d go for Brentwood first.
Hillbilly,
The Apple Store in Nashville will be located a short distance from Vanderbilt University, with its highly respected schools of law and medicine, so when you go in for your produce you might find the Apple Store fairly crowded with students, doctors, attorneys, and many highly trained professionals from the music industry. Macs are already widely used in Nashville, possibly by a greater percentage of the people than in any other city I have lived in, so I am sure the Apple Store will do well here. You should also be aware of the fact that Green Hills is a very upscale retail area and you will be expected to wear shoes and refrain from chewing tobacco while in the store as no spittoons will be available.
Also please note that no one in this area, unless they are fairly recent transplants, refers to stores where one can buy fresh produce as “markets”, we do however say “yall”, call every carbonated soft drink made “coke”, and enjoy eating painfully spicy, greasy, chicken but native Nashvillians aren’t “hillbillies”, we are too far away from any hills of large enough proportions to be hillbillies. But I do know, and count as friends, many people who could easily be referred to as hillbillies, they are some of the kindest, most generous, most accepting, and intelligent individuals I have ever met and none of them seem like extras from the movie Deliverance. Of course a person who has never taken the time to get to know someone outside of their own narrow peer group might not realize this so I invite you with open arms to visit Nashville and see everything this wonderful city has to offer and to visit the Southern Appalachians so that you can experience a varied and rich world unlike any other part of the United States, I am sure you will come away from the experience a better and brighter person.
“Stop trying to ban science education, and maybe people won’t think of SLC as a backwater bible-thumping hillbilly town.”
Um, what SLC are you talking about? If they thump any book of mythos here they thump the Book of Mormon (and they’re a minority here). And they don’t ban science education. Have you heard of the University of Utah? You know, one of the key institutions involved in mapping the human genome? Maybe, instead of spewing bullshit, you should study geography. SLC is not Kansas. Idiot. And what the fuck does any of this have to do with getting an Apple Store here?
neomonkey sez “…and the Tigard store is close to Beaverton and Hillsdale.”
Hey neomonkey – the already in place Washington Square Apple store is closer to Beaverton and Hillsdale than the new store they are opening.
And the Gresham area – why not? Clackmastown Center Area…or Jantzen Beach area on the other side of Portland where Fryes is building a new store.
Or why not in the Beaverton/Hillsboro area around 185th Avenue?
Are there any other states where the two Apple stores are within about spitting distance of each other???
Is the rent to rich at Washington Square or is the expansion of the mall causing some situations?
neomonkey – the new store in Oregon is not in Tualatin, it is in Tigard, too.
Bridgeport Village Store Address:
7293 SW Bridgeport Road
Tigard, OR 97224
Washington Square Store:

Heck…in Oregon, Apple is putting its stores closer together than McDonald´s puts its restaurants!!!!!!!
Portland, Oregon metro area is INTEL country!
Big Intel factories in Hillsboro area, about 15 miles from Apple stores.
Plus a huge HP plant 75 miles south in Corvallis, the land of the Oregon State University Beavers!
