The new store opens on Saturday, March 22 at 10 a.m. local time, according to Apple's website.

Apple's new store at Crocker Park will be larger and more modern than its original store at the shopping center, which first opened in 2008. At many of Apple's newer stores, there is an Apple Pickup station where customers can collect online orders, along with a Genius Bar with counters set at varied heights for improved accessibility.

"Get ready," says Apple. "Great things are in store."

Sadly, same here. I work only a few blocks from our city's arguably best/biggest Apple store, and I haven't set foot in there in years.

I'm happy that new areas are getting them because I know how handy it is to have a local retail store around when you need something serviced. But the sales channels have changed in recent years, so you're often going to get far better pricing if you DON'T buy from Apple retail stores. (I mean, even 8 years ago or so, I saved $1000 on a brand new iMac Pro when I bought their "base" configuration from Micro Center. Apple retail, to my knowledge, never sold one anywhere near that big of a discounted price.)

But it's also about the lack of compelling new products to experience in person before buying. I guess the Apple VR headset was probably the last such product where it made sense to go to a retail store to see what it was about in person? But even with it, I had no interest in it personally. We're long past the days where you could go in to the Apple Store on any given week and see new software titles on their shelves or interesting new 3rd. party products on display that worked with the Mac or iOS devices. (I even bought a radar detector once at an Apple store, because it was Bluetooth paired to the iPhone and used a native iOS app.)

Design has pretty much "plateaued". I was in an Apple store this weekend, and everything looked the same as it has the last 4 to 5 years. The only thing that would have interested me is if they made a version of the new M4 MacBook Air with a killer photographer's dream display option for it.

A foldable iPhone or iPad would be nice to oogle at, but the benefits are probably not worth the price.
I don’t know, I just got back from Miami and went to the new WorldCenter Apple Store that they just opened in the downtown area and Apple’s new Miami store is one of their first stores to have the Vision Pro demo room setup so my Dad and I got to try out Vision Pro for the first time and it was pretty cool

Wow, that’s an awesome store!

My Dad is originally from Cleveland and all of my relatives on my Dad’s side of the family still live in Cleveland so I will have to let them know about this new store opening this weekend

I’m planning on going to Cleveland in May for Memorial Day weekend so if I get a chance, I’ll check out this new store!
