Louisville, KY Apple Store opens this weekend
Kentucky's very first Apple Store will open on Thursday, September 6th - Not Saturday the 8th, as previously reported. Kind of makes you even more eager for Wednesday's announcement, doesn't it?The store is located at 7900 Shelbyville Road in Louisville, on the lower level near Macy's. You can get full travel directions here.
As usual, the first 1,000 visitors will receive commemorative T-shirts and a special opening day giveaway will feature very nice prizes. If you visit the store on opening weekend, please send us your stories and photos.
Thanks, pseudoSAMpson!
Update: While the Oxmoor store's map page lists Sept. 8th as the opening date, the main page lists Sept. 6th. If anyone working at the Shelbyville Rd. mall can confirm the proper date for us, we'd appreciate it.

Do they normally open when the mall opens? is there sometimes an alternate time? I guess I could go to work and just chance it by showing up at 9am? What do you think, you who are in Louisville? What time does Oxmoor open? Maybe I should just do half a day at work and show up at 1pm. Yeah. I should try that approach.

Wait a second... I followed your link to Apple's website, and it is stating "Grand Opening September 8" in Green letters. What are you playing at? Who is 'pseudoSAMpson'? And how is he contradicting Apple's own website?

As djangoman says, the page on apple.com that you link to says the grand opening is September 8. I think pseudoSAMpson is feeding you a line.

Nice. Just got the email as well. Looks like a go, working half a day seems about right, hopefully it's about right...

That there will finally be an Apple store in Kentucky makes me very happy. I'm thinking about going to UofL next year; now I have even more reason to go.

Andrew-
Don't throw your life away at U of L just to be near an apple store. UK is the true path my friend.

Oxmoor Center opens the doors between 7:00 and 7:30. There are multiple entrances, and we don't know which one will open first. I've been eagerly awaiting this event all summer, only to have my hopes dashed by this eleventh-hour change in schedule. I can't get free on Thursday! Arggghh!
