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.

Hi, en Jockey de Peru parece que abriran un Apple Store. Se pude ver un local con una cortina con una manzana.

It would be nice if they'd open an Apple Store on the east side of Washington, DC: there are five stores on the west side but currently none on the east side unless you go at least 20 miles away from town.

Canada has a bunch of Apple Stores. And NO the one in the Eaton's Centre is NOT a microbotique or whatever that is. I've never seen one of those. It is an Apple Store. I bet there will be a few more Canadian stores. We are 1/10th the population and for population density, it's far smarter to just buy your stuff online.

The "Apple Store" at the Montreal Eaton Center really belong to MicroBoutique. Apple Canada did asked Montreal City to allow them to make modification to a front end building and a construction permit from city hall. Montreal should answer Apple Canada at the beginning of 2008. That is what's official. The rumor is that it's supposed to be the first "flagship" AppleStore in Canada.

I've heard from various places that one of the new UK stores will be in Liverpool's Paradise Project, opening early 08 to celebrate the Capital of Culture.

Montreal Downtown: summer '08
( St-Catherine St. beside Ogilvy store...)

Apple Stores in Canada = 5
2 in Quebec (Laval) +(Montreal 2008) , 3 in Ontario ( Toronto, Sherway Gardens, Yorkdale)
