New Apple Stores coming to Palm Beach, UK, Toronto
Apple is expected to have at least 3 new stores opening within the next month or so, starting with Florida, England and then heading north to Canada.
A new Apple retail store will open in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. this Saturday, April 23 at 10am in The Gardens Mall. As usual, the first 1000 people to visit the store will receive a free Apple T-shirt – suitable for eBaying – and will be entered to win a grand opening sweepstakes for Apple's Digital Lifestyle Collection. The Palm Beach store will be Apple's eighth in Florida, which is pretty good for a state that won't even allow Apple to sell an extended warranty.
Birmingham, England's Bullring shopping district is hoping for a late-April opening of their very own Apple store after some completely predictable construction delays.
And last, but not least, Apple.ca is gearing up by recruiting for Genius Bar, sales and management positions for the opening of their first store in Canada, which is going to be in the Yorkdale Mall in Toronto. Looks like the opening is slated for next month. [Thanks, Thomas]
UPDATE: It seems the Toronto store is already open! Don't know how I missed that. Blame Canada :) [Thanks, Cam] UPDATE: Then again, maybe not.
