“In response to a question about a Vancouver store from the audience at the end of the meeting, Johnson replied, ‘Patience is a virtue, and your patience will be rewarded soon,'” ifoAppleStore reports.

Welcome!
It ain’t the Centre of the Universe, ya know…
I’m going to be there!! Gonna have to start a piggy bank.
Gizmo, what’s up dude? Why the grouchiness?
Nope, the center of the Canadian universe already has three. Hope Vancouver and Calgary get their stores soon.
Would be better if Edmonton got one at West Edmonton Mall, the largest in NA!
Pacific Center might kill MacStation on Homer. And they just moved there. Altho’ turning that grill place into a cube might be cool

Jameson House project on Hastings Street — nice view, no parking – anywhere.
Any suggestions?
It’s about damn time!
In both of our homes, S. Florida and S. Ontario, I am fortunate to have three stores within 20+ miles. Seems like they rather blanket certain areas before moving on to a new “outpost”.
Better late than never I guess.
One more thing® …
Why aren’t people excited about local Apple dealers in their back yards?

I assume you mean: “… Hope Toronto and Calgary get their stores soon. …” as the Store in Vancouver seems to be confirmed now.
Otherwise I cannot count up to 3 …
Vancouver Island has the nicest heroine addicts.

I’m glad Vancouver will get a store, I live in Edmonton. Now I only have to travel 1100km (700 miles) to see my first Apple store and spend all my oilfield $$$
I’m leaving Van soon, but it’s an awesome city.. This is a great story

@R
Is that your ignorance coming out to play?
Signed, a guy that lives on Vancouver Island
Oh, good. That just cut down my commute time to the nearest Canadian Apple Store from 44 hours to a paltry 11 hours.
Thank God.
Three? I thought only one.
Why would Hope, B.C., get a store? Oh, wait. . . .
The store will be at 280 Granville Street.
Your wishes for an Apple Store in West Edmonton Mall will SOON be granted.
😀
Vancouver Store officially confirmed by Apple’s Hiring Posts on their Canada site.
Pacific Centre Mall in the old Holt Renfrew are now under development. Opening Spring 2008.
