OMG, does this mean Halifax is NEXT?!!!!
@auren
I wanted to make a joke about which you would get first, an NHL team, a CFL team or an Apple Store…but I think the Apple Store is first on that list
Almost make me wish I was still living in Winterpeg.
Even so I think KP (Kildonan Place) would have been a better location.
OMFG,
Doesn’t Apple know that most Winnipegers can’t even read, let alone operate a computer.
First Apple Store failure coming up.
Now if only the Blue Bombers didn’t suck…or they brought back the Jets (even though they’re doing so well in Phoenix!)
Wouldn’t you KNOW it!!!!! I finally leave WInnipeg after 32 years of retail nothingness and move to Halifax (the best city anywhere IMO) and they get an IKEA, a Sephora and now an APPLE STORE!!! UGH!
Cosmic Karma…
@ BluMeNe,
“I wanted to make a joke about which you would get first, an NHL team, a CFL team or an Apple Store…but I think the Apple Store is first on that list”
You could have said that joke about Winnipeg as well.
@Big Als MBP…what do you have against Winnipeg? My dad was stationed there at the Air Force base for 7 years when I was young. In fact my mom worked as a waitress at the Simpson-Sears restaurant in Polo Park where they are opening up the new Apple store.
It was a wonderful place to grow up as a kid and I have many fond memories.
@Karen…I love Halifax but I disagree, Montreal is the BEST city in Canada.
And Apple is the best computer company in the world.
And the HABS are the greatest hockey team that ever existed.
…..just sayin…..
@Buster
Agreed, a fine city Indeed, I’ve just never lived there (but oh the parties! LOL)
@Karen
We are biased towards the city we have lived in….as it should be.
Although I have lived in Manitoba/Ontario/Quebec…I would move to the maritimes in a heartbeat.
LOL yeah winnipeg is bunk, I’m surprised myself, a winnipeg citizen all my life, witnessing popular brand-name companies planting their empire here. But whatever I’ll accept it with open arms. We need more excitement in this boring city anyways… Actually I don’t care if apple has a store here or an ikea.. etc, I still wanna move to california/vancity/toronto!
@ Buster,
Montreal is the best city and the most European city in North America (Quebec City is really just a town).
Coincidence? I think not.
@Big Als MBP
Hey, my wife is from Winnipeg, and her reading teacher told me that she’ll be able to read in just six more months!
Seriously, though, she is from Winnipeg, and is very witty and literate.
Oh, if mosquitos could buy computers, the Winnipeg store would be the highest-grossing Apple store in the world.
@ Big Als MBP
Fail.
I left Winnipeg for California in 2002 and have never looked back.
Winnipeg was so dead in 2002. Now they have the MTS Centre arena, an IKEA, and now an Apple Store. Things are looking up for the old ‘Peg. What’s next? The Winnipeg Jets? hahaha
