Apple Store at Otay Ranch opening this Friday

When was the last time you visited "Chulajuana" as you call it? Homes go for 800k+, and even in the more westerly "Hilltop" area of C.V., older homes go for well over 600k. Your thinking is so 1970s.

The mall is not just targeting TJ--I believe it targets all of the South Bay, Jamul and points east, La Mesa (10 minutes away by the new freeway 125), etc.

One of the best things about living in Chula Vista, eastern or western, is that we don't have ignoramas like you who think it is "dumpy" crowding our city. We have a well kept secret here, and a new mall now to boot.

Thanks for the link. ;)

Oops... URL didn't come through. It's http://spoontr.com/spblog/2006/10/27/otay-ranch-mall-opening/ for the photos.

My friend has photos of the opening at his blog.

well i went right after school to try and buy a C2D MBP and guess what SOLD OUT!!! so now im heading to Fashion valley to buy my MBP

I went to the opening got a shirt. Parking was a nightmare. Some idiot tried passing me on the left line then turning right from the left lane right into me. Then yelled like it was my fault.... Ahhh I hate SoCal. Ohh the directiong on the website are wrong the road is closed due to construction. Idiot.... The shirt said Otey Mesa Apple.

this new apple store is in a ho-hum location. Yes the community is brand new. and homes super expensive. but its a pain to drive down there!! (at least til the new freeway opens)
the reason the fashion valley and utc/la jolla stores do so well is do to the high foot traffic!! Fashion valley mall sits next to the town n country hotel/convention center. After the conventions break, where do people go for lunch etc. The mall!!The La jolla/utc store is in a great tourist area as well.
Ill make the trek to the new store to check out opening day. but that's it. fashion valley strore is a more central location!!!

i would be at the opening but i have school, i goto Otay Ranch High School and i was the one who submitted the tip, il buy my C2D MBP there after school if they have some :D. and yes Otay and Eastlake are considered "Rich" Chula Vista. and yes the mall is targeting TJ shoppers especially since they're opening that new highway right next to it that goes directly to the Otay border crossing.

While Apple is giving lots of attention to those in the Southern part of San Diego County, those of us up here in the Northern part of San Diego (Oceanside for example) continue to have to drive down to UTC or Fashion Valley, or up to the Irvine Spectrum Center, all three of which are pretty sucky drives during the times of day that I can get there. Show us people up here some love!

Hella yeah, I'm so there to be the first person @ the genius bar. I'm stoked to have one in Otay Lakes. And yes, NAVVY, Our house is 750k+ which is nothing compared to the surrounding homes. Pretty common to see Ferrari's and Bentley's around the area. And its on EAST Chula Vista, not west of 805 which is the real Chula Juana which I've never heard of. Alright kids, check ya'll out there.
