Spyshot: Louisville, KY Apple Store
Back in March, TUAW operative Kelly made us aware of what would become Kentucky's very first Apple Store. While browsing Apple's jobs boards, she found several postings for retail positions at Louisville's Oxmoor mall.Today, reader Chris sent in this spy shot of the subtle barricade that's in front of the store. No hints there.
We still don't have any information on when this store may open, but we'll let you know as soon as we find out. Get ready, Louisville, you're closer every day!
Thanks, Chris!

Looks like it won't open until Sept. 8th.

I don't see it happening for a while.. The market for it isn't as where it should be like a big city. In my opinion at least.
I wish I could get a job with Apple.
that's odd... i tried applying a looong time ago but there wasn't anything online about a kentucky store until recently. Hopefully you'll see me and I'll be workng with you lol, I may be too bitter to buy an iphone if I dont get it lol

Interview went well, I think. Hopefully I'll see you all there and I can sell you an iPhone!
I was there the day before yesterday and noticed the doors were cracked a bit. I think folks are curious enough to pry them open because I don't think they meant for it to be that way. In any case, the store inside (behind the door) is still a clean slate.

While it may have the "MacAuthority" store, it's no match for a real Apple store. I like the small mom-and-pops but their inventory is always small. On a few occasions, they said they'd order it for me, which is something I can do for myself. And sometimes the crummy CompUSA store nearby has more stuff. So... I'm excited a real Apple store is coming.With that said, I do hope the MacAuthority store can survive the competition. They're nice folks over there.

Regarding SC - there was a report that Downtown Charleston was going to get one this Summer. Of course, that never happened. As of now the only East Coast states that don't have Apple Stores are SC and Maine. WTH.
