Louisiana's first Apple Store will open on Thursday

Apple fans in Louisiana, your wait is almost over. ifoAppleStore is reporting that your state's first Apple Store will open this Thursday, March 6th at 10:00 A.M. You'll find it at Baton Rouge's newly expanded shopping area at The Boulevard.

With the opening of this new store, only 13 US states lack an Apple Store.

As usual, we're asking any TUAW operatives who visit this weekend to send us stories and photos. Good luck, have fun and we're hoping you score a T-shirt!

I wish I know what and if there will be an assortment of goodies besides the t-shirt. Or if there's a sweepstakes that you can enter after grand opening day. Right now it looks like I won't be able to go and that sux. LSS/Long Story Short: I need transportation since I can't drive my own vehicle, a stick shift, due to surgery on my left foot. :-( Oh well, maybe someone out there will post a few pics and any pertinent information. Maybe I'm not missing much. :-| I suppose if this store is a success, which I'm sure it will be, maybe I'll attend the next closest one in the near future. I thought this would be an ideal time to go since I'm assuming the line will be short, the initial crowd will be minimal due to the odd day Thursday, no holiday, I'm not working right now and short notice.

I would've been happy with a New Orleans location or anything within a reasonable driving time but of course closer to where you live, work or attend school is a big bonus!

Aww Baton Rouge is getting one before us here in New Orleans?
Sucks, we should easily have one in the Riverwalk, or next to Sachs & 5th Avenue.

Yeah, I would have expected one in New Orleans first, too. But now that I'm at school in Baton Rouge during the week it doesn't really bother me :]

I've been waiting a long time as I've seen from unconventional or typical places or methods that there are probably quite a few more Mac users in LA the other LA and in Baton Rouge. There are many economic reasons for this I'm sure as probably detailed on infoapplestore.com and one of them might have been the hurricanes Katrina and Rita. I always thought that the 1st store would be in New Orleans or possibly somewhere else. I was hoping for a stand alone shop but at least this one is better than nothing at all! ;-) I'm trying to line up a way to go if possible on GA Day. Gotta see if I can snag some goodies! I wonder what they'll give away? MacBook Air maybe?

For real. :-( Even our Best Buy doesn't sell macs. :-( That is if you dont count mice, keyboards and AEBS. Which I don't. I will be at the new one leaving here at 5am :p. So far the closest one is in Beaumont and that is only an authorized reseller. I hope to see you there. Tom
