Still waiting for the Amsterdam store …
None schedule for New Orleans 🙁
None for New Orleans cause of your corrupt local government, and as soon as it rains, the store will be looted. Oh, and Macs don’t do well underwater.
Waiting for a store in Vancouver BC
^^^ No kidding… Three stores in Toronto and not one in Vancouver? This is criminal.

Calling Steve Jobs & Co:
You missed an important city, the 2nd largest in media production in the world, right after NYC:
MUNICH.
Should be in your list, and you can xxx Berlin. Even if it’s Germany’s biggest city, they only got 3 Apple retailers (not Apple Stores, of course) there – whereas there are over 20 alone in Munich.
Vancouver pleeeeease!
three in G.T.A.
nothing in Vancouver! that’s it, i’m moving to Toronto!
Vancouver, eh?
I think Burnaby’s Metrotown/Metropolis area is best for the first ‘Vancouver’ store. It won’t directly compete with other resellers.
Maybe WestVan’s “The Village at ParkRoyal”, no one there. Not likely to compete with NorthVan’s AppleTekk — which are a re-reseller.
Any thoughts?
The Montréal store (Laval Mall) should be open in a couple of weeks…
Wow. 3 stores in all of Canada, all of them in the same city. Thanks a lot Apple!
Just ridiculous…

iPots i guess
Johnny Canuck:
Why would they want it to ‘not directly compete with other resellers’?
Maybe you could tell me what you think I mean.
I’m often in the Toronto area and I can tell you every time I’ve visited either of the existing Apple Stores in Toronto, they are jam packed. So crowed in fact, you can hardly get anyone to answer a question or go fetch some gear from the back room!
Apple’s profit/sq. metre has to be incredible.
Rock on Steve!

Why so many in the GTA? Let’s get some stores in Western Canada already.
For all you Vancouverites out there, it appears that Apple is close to finalizing a deal through Cadillac Fairview for the Vancouver store. In fact it sounds like this deal may have been finalized over the summer:
The speculation over where Apple will open a Vancouver (Canada) retail store is focusing sharply on the downtown Pacific Centre area. The Centre itself is operated by Cadillac Fairview, the same company that is handling mall leasing for three other known Canadian Apple retail stores. The multi-block, retail-office complex is the target for 8.5 million visitors a year, many from Asia, and is within a circle of big name hotels. The Centre would provide space only for an standard-size retail store, however, which is not consistent with the city’s location or size. But where would Apple install a street-level store, maybe even a flagship? Right now the focus is on two spaces at the intersection of Granville and Dunsmuir Streets, just across from Pacific Centre, and adjacent to The Hudson, a huge new retail-office development. The corner building is the heritage-tagged, former B.C. Electric building (c. 1928), whose façade was retained and interior renovated during construction of the square-block development. Next door is a newer-style, 45,000 s.f. retail space that sprung up after demolition of older buildings. It’s not clear if either of the storefronts could legally or technically be massaged into an appropriate Apple design, but both offer the combination of location, visibility, accessibility and size that larger Apple stores require and deserve.
^Dan from Van is just reprinting OLD news from other blogs, so it has ZERO credibility (see where he stole his “info” from here – http://www.ifoapplestore.com/2006/03/02/vancouver-stores-locations-narrowing-down/)
Anyway, yes a Van store would be great but there is at the moment no *evidence* that Apple are about to launch one.
Don’t Believe The Hype.
One other thing: The Apple Stores do not sell anything that you can’t already get in the numerous independent Apple resellers. Nobody is missing-out by not having an actual Apple Store. This ridiculous “me too” desire is all about wanting recognition and the need to be seen as a good-enough, high-profile-enough place for Apple to open a store in. Sounds liks some Inferiority Complex for Vancouverites to me.
