Apple Retail Stores - The UK & Toronto In 2005?
Across the pond, Canada appears to be the next international candidate to receive a brick-and-mortar Apple Store. An email circulated by Apple Canada's National Channel and Business Development Manager reveals that Apple will be opening a new Apple Store based on the Apple Retail Concept in Toronto, Canada by mid-2005.
Apple Canada is announcing today that an Apple Branded Retail Store location will be opening in Toronto, mid year 2005.
Apple currently has ninety-six retail stores in the US, two in Japan, and one opening in London, England this weekend. The stores have been incredibly popular, attracting more than fifty million visitors since the first store was opened in May of 2001.
They provide great hands-on experience for customers, and we welcome the store to Canada as a great complement to our existing distribution channels.

I got important college work to do instead. :(
But I am happy that i'm doing the art work.
I really wish the Negative Nancys of a particular subject would at least explain why they rated the story as such. I'm really curious...what could be bad about more folks having better access to Apple and Apple related merchandise?
Either that, they had wanted the store to open say last year as opposed to it opening now. Maybe that is why they voted it negative.
also, for those who know the answer, how many of those apple surprise bags to they have in supply?

I live about 45 minutes from Bluewater in Kent! YES!
Me too - well I live in rural Essex and have to cross the Dartford bridge but I do go there fairly regularly so it'll be brilliant to have an Apple Store there. Bluewater is a really nice mall.I wouldn't be surprised if we saw some Apple Stores in Leeds, Manchester and Newcastle in the near future either, or and maybe Bristol and the Oracle at Reading.
And a Paris store must be a real possibility sometime soon...
