Our readers are a thoughtful, observant sort. So we were not even mildly shocked to have two separate ones write in mere hours apart to inform us of two new prospective Apple Stores in the US and abroad.
The first tip came from Alex in Liverpool, in that far off mythical land we call the United Kingdom (come on, if that doesn’t sound like some sort of fantasy realm, what does?). He sends us a shot of a black-veiled storefront in a recently re-opened street, with a sign that says “Coming Soon.” Liverpool is, of course, also the hometown of The Beatles—hey, we haven’t had a Beatles rumor in awhile. Maybe they’ll announce the catalog at the same time as they open the Liverpool store. Or maybe I should just repeatedly bash my head into my desk. Same difference.
Our second bit of Apple Store-related news comes from reader Edden, a denizen of Las Vegas. While Sin City already has two stores, one in the upscale Fashion Show shopping mall and another in the “Town Square,” it appears that a third outlet is destined for the Forum Shops in the Venetian Caesars Palace casino (yes, apparently I cannot keep my faux-Italian casinos straight, apologies). Edden was looking to apply to for a job at the Apple Store and was surprised to see a listing for a Forum Shops location that doesn’t exist (duh-duh-DUH!). Sounds as though it may be on the way.
Well, that’s all the news about Apple Stores that’s fit to post. Of course, you can always tip us off to more interesting (or, heck, uninteresting) developments by hitting up our email address over there on the right side of the page.
For what it's worth the Forum Shops are in Caesars Palace, not the Venetian.
I think the "Forum Shops" is part of Caesars Palace (a Roman Forum...get it?), not the Venetian. I don't remember what the shopping area of the Venetian is called, if anything.
Apple store also coming to Lancaster PA in October. http://articles.lancasteronline.com/local/4/222225
ha! thats me =p (im edden not the other guy)
yay. that makes me feel special.
@Anonymous: Whoops, that's totally my fault. I swapped them in my head. Fixed, thanks. ;)
Yep, it is on the mall map as well with an asterisk on it. I was there on Monday 5/26 and saw it but didn't know it would be news.
For the UK there is also Belfast, Leicester and don't forget Bristol, (see http://www.themaccafe.co.uk/files/2e0b6f30a21e365c8e90edf455264d86-39.html) which will bring the total UK stores to 19.
