London Apple Store opens big

Adding more than 9500 square feet to its original layout, London's Regent Square Apple Store reopened today as the largest Apple Store on Earth. By extending back into what had been storage areas, the store was able to expand itself and win the new world title.

The New York City 5th Avenue Apple Store vowed revenge. Fifth-y, as the store is known to friends, has a history of controversy, as it apparently engaged in dressing up as a Muslim holy place while under construction.

The London Apple Store ignored the threats from the New York Store and declared a one-day discount sale on its products. Highlights include £71 off any iMac, £11 off nanos, and £21 off iPod videos.
