In an unusual confluence, three new Apple Stores are set to open over the weekend. The most prominent is the Bondi location in Sydney, Australia, which will open at 8AM Friday morning at 213 Oxford Street.
Also ushering in the iPad is a second store in Edmonton, Canada, this time based at the Southgate Centre at 11100 51st Avenue. The grand opening is set to happen at 8AM
The first Apple Store in Tacoma, Washington [in the Tacoma Mall, at 4502 South Steele Street] is set to have its launch at 10AM on Saturday, May 29th.

MacDailyNews Take: Congrats, Sydneysiders, Edmontonians, and Tacomans! Enjoy your brand new Apple Stores!
I’d love know how the Microsoft stores are doing.

C1,
Where are you working these days?
Sorry, if you answered before but I couldn’t remember on what thread I posted that.
@ Cubert
Most of the time, I’m working right here in my house. Once in a while I have to travel to the land Mordor, but for the most part, to the east I do not go.
Understood.
I, for my own part, have given up on my home adventures – as a source of income, at least – as many of you know.
Thank God, I have rarely ever had to travel to the east. New Jersey blows!!!
The Bondi Junction store is very cool and probably halfway in size between a mall store and a full-sized one. It does indeed have living trees in it, growing under a glass roof.
The place was packed with hundreds of people and too many staff to count. They had also had both private security and police there to keep things in check but it was a very friendly atmosphere.
I had to laugh at 3 students who were hoping to strike a deal to buy 3 iPads at once only to be firmly but politely rebuffed. Nice try!
@ Cubert
I can tell you one thing – when I am in the office, it is with a great sense of smug superiority that I brandish my iPad. ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”wink” style=”border:0;” />
The symbolism couldn’t be more apparent.
From Bondi blue iMac to Bondi Apple Store.
From Beleaguered Apple to the biggest tech company.
What a long journey! It’s been interesting, Jobs.
Who would win a fight between Tacoman and Fajitaman?
@Cubert- LOL, “home adventures” indeed!
@ Wondering
They would both be beaten by a Chalupanian.
