Two more Apple stores planned for UK

The new Apple London Store is set to open to the public tomorrow (check out the
'sneak peek' photos of the store from Thursday's press event), and two new retail stores are apparently already in the works for the UK. Senior VP of retail, Ron Johnson, confirmed the plans at the media event on Thursday in celebration of the Regent Street store opening.

Johnson said the new retail stores will be open sometime in 2005. Locations will be in Birmingham's Bullring and Kent's Bluewater malls. No specifics were given, but Johnson also alluded to the possibility of even more retail stores planned elsewhere in Europe.
