Maine gets its first Apple store, OH and NJ add to their totals

A year ago, I was on vacation in the beautiful state of Maine, enjoying the warm August sun and the not-so-warm northern Atlantic waters, and… I went to an AT&T store. I know, right? That’s like giving a cup of fire to people in heaven!

I did this because, as a deprived Canadian, I hadn’t seen or touched or caressed the hot new iPhone that had came out two months before and there was no Apple store in Maine.

Well no one will ever have to forfeit precious vacation time at the expense of AT&T again, because Apple is opening a store in Maine Mall, South Portland, this Saturday. It’s the largest mall in Maine and close to Portland, Maine’s most populous city, as well as major coastal destinations like Old Orchard Beach.

I’d be discriminating if I didn’t mention the two other fine states also getting new stores this weekend. Ohio will see the opening of the Crocker Park (Westlake) store, while New Jersey will be blessed with an outlet in the Willowbrook Mall, Wayne. Attending any of these openings? All stores open at 10 AM. We’d love reports, photos, free ponies, etc.
