Starting in the Summer/Fall 2010, Apple will be opening five new stores in the following cities:
• Quebec: Quebec City (one location)
• British Columbia: Richmond Centre (Richmond; one location)
• Ontario: Upper Canada Mall (Toronto; one location)
• Alberta: Chinook Centre & Southgate (Calgary/Edmonton; two locations)
iPhone in Canada notes, “The Southgate Apple Store location has already opened on May 28, 2010.”

That makes Six for the Toronto area. Is there any other city in the world with as many Apple stores?
Woo, Canada is upgrading!
Despite the extra time to get things like the iPad and iPhone 4 in Canada, the benefits compared to the US Apple AT&T;experience is huge: choice of providers (at least 4 that I can think of) and tethering for the last 2 years.
how about one tiny little one in Victoria?!!
We have to take a 2 hour ferry @$100 each way to get an Apple Store!
It would be nice to have one here, especially considering the number of people with massive discretionary income and the fact that it seems like almost everyone you see in this town has an iPhone/iDevice!
Seconded. Victoria is way overdue for an Apple store, there are towns in Quebec and Ontario with similar or smaller populations that have Apple stores… I think Apple is missing out on a ton of tourist revenue.
How about at least one freakin’ store in Arkansas.
Is that asking too much?
Every state around us has one or two or ten.
Must be Al pissing on Bill’s cornflakes….
I’d like one here in south Texas.
Hot dang! The Calgary one will bring my nearest Apple store about 4 hours closer. Now if they’d just open one in Lethbridge, life would be complete….
And when is Kelowna going to join the party? This strategically located city Is a major shopping hub servicing the southern interior of British Columbia. Get with it, Apple.
KELOWNA??
Victoria ALONE has the population of the entire Okanagon!!!
In brutal honesty, every single city in the world should have one!
Open one here on the Panhandle of Florida, trust me there is plenty of money floating around near, and mostly on the water now.
Five new stores in Canada alone this year. Now, remind me again, how many stores altogether does Microsoft have? How about Dell? (Oops, I meant kiosks.)
MDN word: respect. That’s a good one!! Ha.
The Florida Panhandle doesn’t have an Apple Store??
You gotta be shittin’ me!!!
@AppleGeekCanada
Nope we sure don’t. South and Central are loaded with them. But not in Northwest Florida.
With all the tourist around that come down (well not right now), the amount of business the military brings here there is no apple store here. We have to settle for Best Buy. ‘
We have more than New York in south Florida. We are tied with Texas at 16 in each state, but Northwest Florida has none.
How about a tiny little one in the Netherlands, yes just one in the whole country. Is that possible Apple?
Another Apple Mall store for the Vancouver area… yay…
Come on… how about a nice presence on Robson Street in Downtown Vancouver?
there are 10 within 15 miles of where I live in Brentwood.
@Regular Reader– then you obviously don’t know about the store in Market Mall. Chinook Mall does not bring you 4 hours closer. I should know– I’m in Lethbridge too.
@Apple Cider
Ha! I did not…wow, not sure how that one slipped by the radar. I thought I was being vigilant for closer stores opening, but clearly missed it (for a couple of years). Good news as Future Shop ain’t the same experience, eh? The only Apple store I’ve been to is West Ed when we were there for other things.
@Regular Reader
There is already one in Calgary. Chinook Centre will be incredibly busy.
They have moved tenants and closed off a very large section in the Richmond Centre Mall in Richmond, BC.
Not sure how big this store will be but it appears it won’t be small.
@izune
No I didn’t realize there was one there. But I still maintain that Lethbridge needs one too. Much shorter drive to there than even Calgary.
Here’s voting for Halifax, Nova Scotia !!!!!
I second that Halifax vote.
I was just in Richmond, VA, and my bro-in-law told me he had been to the lone Apple Store there a week ago Friday. It was so jammed, you couldn’t have purchased anything in less than an hour. I pointed out that was when the iPhone 4 was on sale, and that the place probably wasn’t like that ALL of the time. But the ones here in the Twin Cities truly are busy every hour of the day.
He’s finally switching to a Mac Mini, by the way, after years of being a hardcore Windows user. He said, “I’m just really tired of all the hassles with Windows.” Some people just take longer to figure it out.
