  1. Twin Cities, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota. Three million people and five Apple Stores. Thank you Apple!! (Not quite as good as Toronto, but what the heck)

  2. Saskatoon!

    Fastest growing city in Canada, with a booming economy. Approaching 300,000 metropolitan area, with at least 0.5M within a 200 km radius. Large university market. Very under-served Apple-wise. Many other huge companies are moving in with a retail presence.

    Do it Apple! Even a small mall store would be very much appreciated… ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”grin” style=”border:0;” /> The closest Apple store to Saskatoon is in Edmonton, which is a 12 hour round trip.

    The center of the universe (T-dot) doesn’t need 6! Spread the wealth!

  3. They need to spread our the Toronto area stores, maybee one east of the city and one west,
    not all bunched together.
    I vote for at least 1 in the capital city of each state & province.

  4. Toronto is and has been right from the start one of Apple’s best supporting cities for the Mac.

    If any city deserves a ‘flagship’ store this is one of them.

    Perhaps, Apple should buy Casa Loma. It’s future is being one of the topics of discussion these days.

    As for the new store scheduled in Richmond BC, it is too bad that they didn’t coincide its opening with the flagship store in Shanghai. That is probably where most of the Canadian store purchases will be headed anyway.
