Apple Thoughts - News & Reviews on all things Apple

"Visitors to the St. Louis Galleria (Mo.) Apple store this Saturday will find a new space at a new location, offering about four times the display and service area of the mini-store that opened at the mall in 2004."

This was a move by Apple from their mini-store into the new 6,000 square foot space. They have an on-going project apparently to convert the original nine mini-stores to the full-size version. This one is going to be the largest mall-based store that Apple has, at least to this point in the expansion of the empire. First 1,000 customers, when the doors open at 9am, will be given the usual t-shirt. You can find out more about the store at the store page on Apple's site.

"Opening the same day and at the same hour (as the Nashua Store in the previous story today) is a store in Greenwich, Connecticut. Situated at 356 Greenwich Avenue, the shop will normally operate from 10AM to 7PM on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Thursday hours will stretch to 8PM, while Sunday hours will be limited to between 11AM and 6PM. One Snow Leopard workshop has already been scheduled for November 22nd."

You can find more info at the Apple site for this store.

"Though only recently rumored, plans have already been confirmed for an Apple Store opening in Nashua, New Hampshire. The new location will launch Saturday, November 21st at 10AM, within the Pheasant Lane Mall at 310 Daniel Webster Highway. The Apple Store is on the first floor near the food court."

More info can be found at the Pheasant Lane retail site.

"Apple opens its newest retail store on New York's Upper West Side on Saturday, November 14 at 10:00 a.m. Set beneath a breathtaking all-glass arched roof, the street level of the Apple Store Upper West Side will offer more Macs, iPods and iPhones than any store in the world and feature the largest area ever created by Apple for personal training and technical support, including a 45-foot Genius Bar."

This one sounds fantastic. And from the map it looks fairly easy to find.
