40 new Apple Stores in 2008
If you're one of those fans without a local Apple Store (like me), take heart. Apple plans to open 40 new stores in 2008, according to senior retail VP Ron Johnson. While at the opening of New York City's 14th street store, Mr. Johnson said that Apple retail will expand internationally next year. Apple has three stores planned for the UK and is currently negotiating a store for Mexico. We'll let you know what we find out. In the meantime, keep your eyes peeled! Send us any spyshots you take.

I find it really wird that Canada doesn't have an Apple Store.. but I think I heard somewhere a Store would be opening in Toronto or Montréal...

Canada does have an Apple store. It's in Yorkdale and has been for several years.
Why there isn't one in West Edmonton Mall though, I've no idea.

Sorry -- to clarify that, I meant Yorkdale Mall, in Toronto:
3401 Dufferin Street
Toronto, Ontario M6A 3A1

There one also in Laval. I never understood why they chose Laval over Montreal. I don't have a car so I can only go to Laval's Apple store by metro, and my STM pass won't work on Laval side.
If they open a store in Montreal, I'll be in the first one for a t-shirt and I'd go often :D

Canada has at least two Apple stores - one in Yorkdale Mall and a real nice one in Eaton Centre downtown.

The store at Eaton Centre is MicroBoutique (http://www.microboutique.ca), it's not and Apple Store.

Canada has four Apple Stores. One is in the Montréal area, the other three are in and around Toronto.

Indeed, but the rest of the country is left Apple Store-less.

Apple Canada is recuiting for Vancouver AppleStore and they have asked Montreal City for a construction licence for what is rumored to be a Flagship AppleStore in Montreal downtown.

It'd be nice to have one in Portsmouth (UK). There's an upmarket shopping mall on the seafront that'd be the perfect location for an Apple store.
There is a TINY (and I mean tiny) Apple store in Southampton but it's a fair distance away. And broom cupboards are bigger.

Seoul South Korea desperately needs an Apple store. The market here is WAY ready for options to windoze.

It'd be great if we'd get one in the Augusta, GA area. Especially since our only source of Mac stuff (CompUSA) is closing up shop any time now...
The closest Apple store is 2 hours away. There's a huge void in our area.
