Philadelphia Apple Store?
As a resident of Philadelphia I think it would be a fine idea if they opened a store within walking distance of my apartment near the famed Rittenhouse Square,
however I am not sure that Springboard Media, a local Apple reseller,
would welcome the competition nearly as much.
According to the
Philadelphia Business Journal a building that was formerly Borders has been sold and one of the potential clients for the retail space is none other than
Apple Computer. They also say that if Apple were to open a store in that location it would be of the two story variety.
This is unsubstantiated at the moment, so Apple please don't release your legal hounds upon us. I'm just reporting on the rumor, I didn't start it. Honest.
Steve, if you're reading this, I think it would be a great location, and I would be happy to be there to help kick off the grand opening.
