Vancouver Apple Store closer than ever

sorry for the bump but i just came across this article. wouldn't it be cool if they put the new apple store where storyeum was?

Well, it has been a thought of mine that they'd be putting it in the old Holt Renfrew as there has been a considerable amount of construction at the site. A few years ago, I would have assumed that it was going to end up in what is now the Steve Nash Sports Centre.

I will be there on opening day. :)

In response to Tango Charlie,

All of the local Vancouver Apple Authorized Resellers (and Apple Retail stores) get their Apple product stock shipped from a division of Apple called Apple Finished Goods (or other independent distributors).

As far as resellers not bundling Leopard with new Macs, not even Apple Retail stores were bundling Leopard with new Macs, when it was released. For those who bought machines pre-installed with Tiger, everyone must go through the Apple OS X Up-To-Date program. Even those that bought their computers from an Apple Retail store. Most new Macs preinstalled with Tiger are now bundled with Leopard discs, but the exterior retail packaging (box) has yet to be updated with Leopard graphics on Mac minis, iMacs and MacBook Pros.

The job postings were already on Apple's website a long time ago. I've already applied for a position a long time ago. Haven't heard anything from them, though...

Apple Store in Vancouver is a long time coming, really.

Now if only they could get some plans for one in America's Vancouver, or even Northeast Portland. It sure would beat driving over half-an-hour to get there. Even a small one would be nice. How about right by the new IKEA?

a news item earlier this month mentioned the Vancouver Apple Store will be in Pacific Centre Mall, in the old Holt Renfrew store's location - that's a pretty large space, so it could easily be an impressive store...

to repeat what someone above said, the job listings on Apple's website clearly show positions available in British Columbia, location = Pacific Centre. So I think both of these "rumours" are true.

YAY Finally an Apple store that isn't 3-4 hours away in Lynnwood, although I do like it, this is going to be awesome. I might even apply for a job there :P Definately good news for us Vancouverites and locales, don't have to worry about mailing stuff to apple if something should go wrong.

Yeah. I just posted it really quick. Didn't had time to ellaborate.
If you follow this link (http://jobs.apple.com/index.ajs?method=mHvexternal.showPositionDetails&&BID=2&Language=en&PID=61) you'll see the exact same advertisement, but this one is official. =)
Minor mistake from whoever posted on Craigslist.

I'm just surprised this post is filed under rumors. I think the fact that the job opportunity is being advertised on Apples's site is enough... Don't you all?

As #1 said it can be found right on the site... http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/9809/applejobopportunitiessexs2.jpg

Mac Store on Homer street seems to get the job done.

What do Geniuses get paid? For qualifications like that, I would expect $50-$70k CAD.
