If you live in Vancouver, BC, your patience should be rewarded by the end of this summer. According to an article in the Vancouver Sun, the city’s major paper, that’s when Pacific Centre Mall’s Apple store will open its doors.
This tidbit comes from a mall staffer, while “Apple did not respond to a Vancouver Sun call” (what a surprise!). There’s been construction going on for quite a while now (as a few of you have pointed out before) and even Ron Johnson, Apple’s retail VP, basically confirmed the location last year.
You might remember similar news coming out of Edmonton two months ago, with that store supposed to open in July. Combined with the street-side store currently being built in downtown Montréal and an outlet possibly opening in Calgary this fall, it seems us Canadians are finally getting some Apple store love. Happy? I am.

Excellent news. Though here in Toronto we have 3 stores within driving distance.
Finally!
I wonder what will be with the resellers.
I am happy. Can't wait for the Apple store in Edmonton. I have been using the Western Canadian Mac re-seller 'Westworld Computers' since 1993 but will be happy to have access to a genuine Apple store.
Hopefully we can get iPhones and a iTunes store like they have in the US soon. I really want an iPhone but cringe at the idea of jailbreaking it or unlocking it.
Good news, good news!
@#$%ing right!
It's about bloody time!
